Welcome To The Jungle postponed?

A source close to the production house of Welcome To The Jungle informed Hindustan Times that the Akshay Kumar starrer is likely to be delayed. The insider said, “Welcome… has been mounted on a grand scale, with the first schedule wrapping up recently in May. It was a lengthy shoot in Aarey, Maharashtra, with the entire star cast present.
