Overview
- Director Ahmed Khan confirmed Monday that Raveena Tandon agreed to work with Akshay Kumar and described their reunion as a purposeful piece of ‘fan service’ for audiences.
- Kumar and Tandon share multiple scenes in the film but are not cast as a romantic pair.
- The two perform a song sequence choreographed by Rahul Shetty and Prince Gupta that, Khan said, prompted applause on set and a comment from Suniel Shetty recalling their 1990s work.
- Khan told reporters the pair were friendly off camera, joking, reminiscing and talking about their children, and that his long friendships with both stars helped bring them together.
- Welcome To The Jungle is directed by Ahmed Khan, produced by Firoz Nadiadwala and opens June 26, with the reunion used as a timely promotional hook tied to the actors’ 1990s hits such as Mohra.
