The official teaser of Welcome To The Jungle has triggered strong reactions online. Released on May 15, the promo shows a loud, chaotic mix of action and comedy featuring a huge star cast. While some viewers found it entertaining, others questioned its originality and compared it to Hollywood’s Tropic Thunder.
The teaser was shared by Akshay Kumar and presents the film as a spoof-style jungle adventure filled with exaggerated humour and action chaos. It opens with a quirky disclaimer – “In the making of this film, no animals were used… except for some horses and us donkeys.”
What’s In Welcome To The Jungle Teaser
The teaser features actors like Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Arshad Warsi, Disha Patani and Jacqueline Fernandez in a fictional jungle filled with explosions and comic action.
Meta-humour is a key highlight. In one scene, Akshay Kumar’s character Rajeev tries to quit mid-action, while Tusshar Kapoor reminds him they are being paid “millions of rupees.” The teaser also includes fast-paced comic dialogues like “Abbe, tu marta kyon nahi?” and “Main marne mein jaan daal raha hoon!”
