Ahmed Khan has rounded up a huge ensemble cast for his upcoming adventure comedy Welcome to the Jungle, perhaps the biggest in recent memory. However, two actors who have been a crucial part of the first two instalments of the Welcome franchise — Anil Kapoor aka Majnu and Nana Patekar aka Uday — aren’t a part of the threequel. “Why is that a problem? I didn’t make Baaghi 4, someone else (A Harsha) did. I’m making Welcome 3, and Anees Bazmee (director of Welcome and Welcome Back) made Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and 3. The first one was directed by Priyadarshan,” says Ahmed on the inaugural edition of SCREEN Spotlight. He feels that the change in cast and director only brings freshness to the franchise. “Akshay (Kumar) was in Welcome (2007), John (Abraham) was in Welcome Back (2015). Akshay was in Bhool Bhulaiyaa; now, Kartik (Aaryan) is in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and 3. Siddharth Anand made War (2019), Ayan Mukerji made War 2,” added Ahmed. “You can only stretch something to an extent. After that, it …

You can’t think of Welcome without Mushtaq Khan and his unforgettable character, Balu. Who can forget that iconic line: “Meri ek taang nakli hai, main hockey ka bohot bada khiladi tha (My one leg is fake, I was a great hockey player).” It’s almost as if the two are inseparable. For all the love Mushtaq gets for this role, especially in today’s meme culture, there’s an unfortunate reality behind the scenes: he didn’t get paid as much as he deserved. Sure, working alongside the likes of Nana Patekar, Anil Kapoor, and Akshay Kumar was a blast, but the shooting schedule stretched on endlessly, and Mushtaq’s payment never reflected the extended hours. Mushtaq Khan shared his frustration about the pay disparity, saying, “Agreement jab humara hota hai toh bola jaata hai ki 20 din ka shoot hai ya 25 din ka shoot hai. Uss hisaab se hum aap na payment tay karte hain. Par fir 25 din ke shoot ke baad aapse 10 din aur maange jaate hai, fir uske baad 15 din aur. Maine kaha …
