Ahmed Khan dismisses Welcome to the Jungle comparisons with Tees Maar Khan, Tropic Thunder | Bollywood News

Ahmed Khan’s adventure comedy Welcome to the Jungle is on the verge of crossing the Rs 100 crore mark at the worldwide box office. The film, starring Akshay Kumar, is the third instalment in the popular Welcome franchise, but isn’t a direct sequel like Anees Bazmee’s Welcome Back (2015) was to the first instalment, Welcome (2007). The story, in fact, goes in an entirely new direction, with several new cast members, a new setting, and even a new style. Welcome to the Jungle revolves around a bunch of people trying to make a film inside a forest. Given Akshay Kumar is fronting it, that immediately invited comparisons with his 2010 heist comedy, Farah Khan’s Tees Maar Khan. That movie, also starring Katrina Kaif and Akshaye Khanna, bombed at the box office, but has emerged as a cult film over the years, particularly among Gen-Z. However, Ahmed Khan has dismissed any comparisons. “Some people have looked at the ‘film-within-a-film concept and compared it to Tees Maar Khan as well! But Akshay was the hero of Tees …

Farah Khan has often spoken about how her film Tees Maar Khan, which starred Akshay Kumar in the lead role, was not a box-office success, but later gained appreciation from audiences.

Farah Khan says the Tees Maar Khan fallout was the darkest phase of her career: ‘I felt nobody should question me since I’d just made Om Shanti Om’ | Bollywood News

5 min readMumbaiMar 15, 2026 05:33 PM IST After ruling the Hindi film industry as the most sought-after choreographer for 12 years, Farah Khan became an even more successful director. She delivered two consecutive blockbusters in Main Hoon Na (2004) and Om Shanti Om (2007), both starring Shah Rukh Khan. But just three years later came her directorial career’s biggest setback yet, Tees Maar Khan, in 2010. Though the Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif-starrer earned around Rs 84 crore at the domestic box office, it was widely panned and couldn’t recreate the impact of her previous directorials. Farah still considers the aftermath of that film as her career’s “darkest phase” yet. “It puts you on the backfoot for very long. You get over it, bounce back, and go to work, but in your mind, you’re always on the backfoot. You don’t have self-doubt, but people try to push you towards that. Even when your film becomes a hit, people may make you feel you can do anything. But you have to question that as well. …

Ever since Dhurandhar arrived in theatres last December and took the box office by storm, the internet has been obsessed with Akshaye Khanna.
