Arshad Warsi confirms Welcome 3 with Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Dutt, calls it ‘larger than life’
Arshad Warsi said that he will next be seen in Welcome 3 and Jolly LLB 3. Both the films will also star Akshay Kumar.

Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi has put an end to the rumors and confirmed that Welcome 3 is in the works, and he is part of the project. He also revealed that Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Sanjay Dutt are also part of the film. Welcome and Welcome Back, produced by Firoz Nadiadwala, are part of one of India’s most beloved comedy film franchises. The first part starred Katrina Kaif, Akshay, Nana Patekar, Anil Kapoor and Mallika Sherawat among others. Welcome Back starred John Abraham, Shruti Haasan, Dimple Kapadia and Naseeruddin Shah.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Arshad said, “The scale of Welcome 3: the cost, the climax, is unreal. It is an insanely larger-than-life theatrical film which I will be a part of. It has me, Akshay Kumar, Sanju (Sanjay Dutt), Paresh Rawal and lots of other people.”
The actor also opened up about Jolly LLB 3 and said that he stars alongside Akshay in the film. He said, “We start shooting in January. It is one of those films that tell you the truth of how things run in the world, good versus bad.” Talking about why he did not star in Jolly LLB 2, Warsi said, “I have no idea. I have a feeling the makers wanted to upscale the film. I remember I told Subhash also ‘You should do it with Akshay. If you want to show crowd in a courtroom, with me it will be 500, with Akshay you will get 5000’. Somewhere, the production people realised ‘let’s get a bigger star.’”
Warsi said that there has been a shift in cinema and the movies that are releasing in theatres are superhero films. He said, “They are huge, larger than life, it’s bizarre. For me, job satisfaction is most important. These are films which will pay me tonnes of money. The ones I have got offered, I didn’t fancy very much. The one I am doing is Welcome 3.”
