‘Welcome 4’ In The Works: Paresh Rawal, Suniel Shetty Confirm Return Of Anil Kapoor–Nana Patekar Trio

While “Welcome to the Jungle”, directed by Ahmed Khan, is gearing up for its June 26, 2026 release, reports now suggest that the makers have already moved ahead with plans for “Welcome 4”, the fourth installment in the popular comedy franchise. Adding to the excitement, the iconic trio of Anil Kapoor, Nana Patekar and Paresh Rawal are set to reunite for the new film. Kapoor and Patekar had taken a break from the franchise in the third installment.

Earlier in the day, a report by Mid-Day stated that the script for “Welcome 4" is already nearing completion, even before the release of the third film. The development gained further traction when Rawal and Suniel Shetty, who made a cameo in the first "Welcome” film, acknowledged the news on their respective X (formerly Twitter) handles.
