Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi recently began the Mumbai leg of Jolly LLB 3. The superstar will complete most portions of the courtroom comedy, which also features Huma Qureshi, during this stint. But there is no breather in sight for him. Sources indicate Kumar will shoot the third instalment of the Jolly LLB franchise throughout June, only to be beckoned by the third edition of another franchise—Welcome.

In July, the actor will return to the set of Welcome To The Jungle. A source reveals, “Most of the indoor portions will be filmed in this schedule. Director Ahmed Khan has lined up 30 days of shoot, after which it will be a wrap on the comedy. The team has been instructed to be ready to resume shooting in early July.” 

Welcome To The Jungle has an ensemble cast that includes Suniel Shetty, Raveena Tandon, Jackie Shroff, Lara Dutta, Disha Patani, Jacqueliene Fernandez, Tusshar Kapoor and Warsi. The source adds, “A song shoot is lined up for this leg. Akshay will also be busy with Sarfira promotions, which he will juggle with the shoot.”
