Akshay Kumar on Thursday took to social media to announce that Sanjay Dutt has started shooting for Welcome To The Jungle — the third installment of the hit film franchise Welcome. The actor also celebrated 16 years of Welcome (2007), directed by Anees Bazmee. The second film of the franchise Welcome Back released in 2015.

Taking to Instagram, Akshay shared a video of himself riding a horse and Sanjay chasing him on a bike. Along with the video, the actor wrote, “What a lovely coincidence that we celebrate 16 years of #Welcome today while I am shooting for the franchise’s third part #WelcomeToTheJungle. And it’s wonderful to welcome Sanju Baba in this one. What do you think?”

Welcome To The Jungle went on floors earlier this month. Announcing the commencement of the film’s shoot, Akshay Kumar had shared a glimpse of the “madness” by posting a video from the sets of the film. Watch here:

Along with the video, Akshay had written, “Absolute madness of masti begins as we start the shoot of #WelcomeToTheJungle. Will need your wishes for this rollercoaster full of all things fun and crazy. #Welcome3.” Lara commented on Akshay’s post, “Let’s goooooo.”
