Akshay Kumar has worn swagger, slapstick and star power with ease over the years, but his latest note on Welcome To The Jungle came from a far more emotional place. As the film continued drawing love after its June 26, 2026 release, the actor shared a heartfelt message that thanked the entire team while offering a special bow to veterans Farida Jalal and Kiran Kumar.
Posting with the hashtag #WelcomeToTheJungle, Akshay wrote, “If a picture is worth a thousand words, this one for me is worth millions. Badi bi sahi keh rahi hai… THANK YOU is very small in front of what I feel right now. While I am indebted to every single soul connected to Welcome to the Jungle, I bow down in gratitude to seniors like Farida ji and Kiran Sir. It must be their blessings which is seeing our film get such unimaginable love from all of you. Love you all from the whole team of Welcome To The Jungle. Jai Mahakal 🙌”
The note landed as one of the most personal public reactions from the actor around the film, and it struck a chord because it shifted attention away from scale and spectacle to gratitude and seniority.
Akshay Kumar’S Latest Welcome To The Jungle Tribute
Akshay’s message arrived as Welcome To The Jungle stayed in the spotlight for its sprawling ensemble and franchise recall. Directed by Ahmed Khan and produced by Firoz A. Nadiadwala, the comedy adventure featured Akshay Kumar alongside Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Jacqueline Fernandez, Disha Patani, Raveena Tandon, Lara Dutta, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, Rajpal Yadav, Kiku Sharda, Johny Lever, Farida Jalal and Kiran Kumar.
The film followed a chaotic jungle mission involving a mismatched group whose journey spirals into confusion, betrayals and comic disorder. In a cast loaded with familiar names and high-energy performers, Akshay’s latest post made it clear that the blessings of the veterans meant the most to him.
That feeling also echoed an earlier moment from the film’s promotional campaign, when Akshay had singled out Farida Jalal’s contribution with a memorable compliment. At a public event, he said, “Farida Jalal ji has done the best comedy in the film, followed by Kiran Kumar ji and then all of us.” His new post now reads like an extension of that admiration.
