Uday Bhai and Majnu Bhai are back! Firoz Nadiadwala confirms Welcome 4

Producer Firoz Nadiadwala has confirmed that the fourth installment of the popular comedy franchise Welcome is officially in development. 

Tentatively titled Welcome 4, the film is expected to reunite fan-favorite characters played by Akshay Kumar, Nana Patekar, Anil Kapoor and Paresh Rawal.

The announcement comes even as audiences eagerly await the release of Welcome to the Jungle, the third film in the franchise. According to Nadiadwala, work on the next chapter has already begun, with the script currently in its advanced stages.

Speaking about the project, Nadiadwala hinted that Welcome 4 will be bigger in scale than its predecessors, particularly in terms of music and action. The film is expected to feature a unique international musical collaboration bringing together artists from several regions around the world.

“We are in the advanced stages of scripting. The music and action we are planning will be massive. We are working on multicultural music with talent coming together from regions such as the Middle East, Africa, the United States and China,” Nadiadwala told ETimes.

The producer also teased a storyline packed with multiple villains, which could raise the stakes for the franchise’s iconic characters. The return of Uday Bhai, Majnu Bhai and Dr. Ghungroo—along with more than one don—could lead to explosive and comedic on-screen moments.

Meanwhile, Nadiadwala addressed speculation surrounding Welcome to the Jungle, dismissing rumours of delays and confirming that the film has already been completed. The third installment is directed by Ahmed Khan and features a large ensemble cast.

The franchise began with the 2007 hit Welcome, directed by Anees Bazmee, which went on to become a cult comedy among audiences. Its sequel, Welcome Back, continued the story with several original cast members returning.

With Akshay Kumar returning in the upcoming third film and a fourth installment now confirmed, the Welcome franchise appears set to expand its comedic universe even further.

Welcome to the Jungle also referred to as Welcome 3 is currently scheduled to release in theatres on June 26, 2026.
