Jackie Shroff to wear 'specially-designed' 22kg costume for 'Welcome 3'
Veteran Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff is preparing for a unique challenge in his upcoming film, Welcome to the Jungle. In this highly-anticipated movie, presented by Base Industries Group and produced by Firoz Nadiadwala, Shroff will be donning specially designed costumes that weigh at least 22kg each, reportedly. These extravagant outfits are the creation of designer Anna Singh and have been tailored specifically for Shroff's undisclosed character.
Cast changes and production updates for 'Welcome to the Jungle'
The film's casting underwent a significant change when actor Sanjay Dutt had to leave the project due to "scheduling conflicts." This departure led to a reshuffling of roles, with Suniel Shetty stepping into Dutt's original role and Shroff taking on the part initially assigned to Shetty. The production team clarified that these changes were not replacements but necessary adjustments made to accommodate the story's requirements.
