‘Welcome To The Jungle’ movie review: Akshay Kumar and Johny Lever salvage a script lost in the woods
He hires two floundering directors (Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav) to cook up a story with a fading star, Rajeev (Akshay Kumar), and cast his erstwhile love interest (Disha Patani) as the heroine, and the producer’s daughter (Jacqueline Fernandez) for the oomph factor. The makers don’t want to completely sever the umbilical cord to the original. So, Suniel Shetty and Arshad Warsi step into the shoes of Nana Patekar and Anil Kapoor as the rogue elements who want to play heroes in the film.
