Ahmed Khan On Welcome 3rd Budget: Akshay Kumar’s film ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ has been released in theaters on June 26, which has been directed by Ahmed Khan. This film is also getting good reviews and is performing well at the box office. The most special thing about this picture is that more than 30 big stars are seen in it. It was believed that if there are so many stars in one film, then a lot of money must have been spent on the film. However, it is not so. Ahmed Khan has prepared this film in a low budget.
Ahmed Khan himself ‘Welcome to the Jungle’‘Have talked about the budget. In a conversation with Times Now, Ahmed Khan said, “People think that I am an expensive director. I am not an expensive director at all. I am a director who makes films within the budget set by the producer. Films are not made for Rs 200 crore, Rs 250 crore. My understanding over the years is that only money is wasted.”
The budget was recovered by selling the rights.
He further said, “I have not spent more than Rs 115-120 crore on ‘Welcome to the Jungle’, including cast, action, songs, everything. Or it can be maximum Rs 125 crore. I have not crossed the budget. And whatever has been spent has been recovered from digital, satellite and music rights. Now whatever the film is earning is profit. They (makers) are getting profit from this film.”
Big stars like Disha Patani, Jacqueline Fernandez, Lara Dutta, Paresh Rawal, Sunil Shetty have been seen in this film with Akshay Kumar. Raveena Tandon is also seen in an important role in this film. This has happened after 22 years when Akshay Kumar and Raveena Tandon have worked together in a film.
