Dubai shoot of Akshay’s Welcome to the Jungle cancelled: Due to tension, makers will now build sets in Mumbai, schedule of Shahrukh’s King also disturbed

There is tension in many countries amid the Iran-Israel war, due to which the shooting schedules of many Bollywood films are being changed. Recently, the Dubai shoot of Shahrukh Khan’s most awaited film King, which was scheduled to start from April 9, has been cancelled. After this, the shooting of Akshay Kumar’s film Welcome to the Jungle in Dubai has also been cancelled. According to the report of Times of India, the film’s director Ahmed Khan wanted to shoot a song in Dubai with the entire star cast. The director waited for a long time for the situation to improve, but then decided to cancel the Dubai shoot. Now he will get the set prepared in Mumbai instead of Dubai. According to reports, it was not possible to postpone the shooting as the song has a huge star cast including Suniel Shetty, Arshad Warsi, Raveena Tandon, Jackie Shroff, Paresh Rawal, Lara Dutta, Disha Patani, Jacqueline Fernandes and Shreyas Talpade. It would have been extremely difficult to reconcile all these dates, so the makers quickly had to find another option. Dubai set to be built in Mumbai: According to reports, huge sets are being built in different areas of Mumbai like Mud Island, Golden Tobacco Studio and Film City of Goregaon. These sets are being designed by Sailesh Madik, which will feature high-end locations like nightclubs, casinos and private jets. According to reports, director Ahmed Khan and producer Firoz A. Nadiadwala wanted to show this song in a glamorous style of luxury lifestyle, so initially Dubai was considered an ideal location. Dubai shoot of Shahrukh’s King also cancelled. The shooting of Shahrukh’s most awaited film King was to be held in Dubai for a week from April 9. The makers had also taken permission for this, but in view of the ongoing tension in Dubai due to the Iran-Israel war, the makers have canceled the shoot. This decision has been taken keeping in mind the security of the production team. Now the shooting of this film will also be done in Vile Parle Studio, Mumbai, where a big desert set will be built. Let us tell you that the multistarrer film Welcome to the Jungle is scheduled to release on June 26, 2026. This is a comedy film being made under the direction of Ahmed Khan, which has a big star cast like Akshay Kumar, Jackie Shroff, Sunil Shetty, Lara Dutta, Raveena Tandon.
