Welcome to the Jungle cast fees: Akshay Kumar leads with ₹90 crore

The much-anticipated Bollywood comedy Welcome to the Jungle, directed by Ahmed Khan, is generating massive buzz with its teaser and title track already making waves. With an ensemble cast rarely seen in Hindi cinema, the film has now grabbed attention for another reason — the staggering fees reportedly paid to its stars.

Akshay Kumar commands ₹90 crore for double role

Leading the film in a double role, Akshay Kumar reportedly took home a fee of ₹90 crore, cementing his status as one of Bollywood’s highest-paid actors. The star’s dual avatar in the film is expected to be a major crowd-puller, justifying the blockbuster paycheque.

Veteran actor Suniel Shetty reunites with Kumar on screen and was reportedly paid ₹4 crore for his role. The duo’s on-screen chemistry, familiar to fans from the original Welcome franchise, is anticipated to be one of the film’s highlights.

Supporting stars bring ensemble firepower

Disha Patani and Jacqueline Fernandez, both said to be paired opposite key characters in the film, each earned ₹2.5 crore. Rounding out the star-studded ensemble, Raveena Tandon, Arshad Warsi, Paresh Rawal, and Lara Dutta — all returning to the big screen after notable gaps — were each paid ₹2 crore for their respective roles. Together, their combined presence promises a comedy spectacle brimming with nostalgia and wit.
