When the first teaser of Welcome To The Jungle was released last year in February 2025, it created huge excitement by bringing together nearly 25 actors, comedians and singers in one frame! From Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Raveena Tandon and Lara Dutta to Disha Patani, Johnny Lever, Rajpal Yadav, Rahul Dev, Daler Mehndi and Mika Singh among many others, the teaser promised a massive ensemble cast.
Now that Ahmed Khan’s comedy entertainer has finally made it to the theatres on June 26, 2026, fans have noticed that a few familiar faces from the teaser are missing from the final cut.
5 Actors Who Featured In Welcome To The Jungle Teaser But Went Missing In The Film
Sanjay Dutt – One of the biggest surprises is Sanjay Dutt. Despite appearing in the teaser, the veteran actor is not seen anywhere in the film, not even in a cameo.
Rahul Dev – Rahul Dev was part of the teaser and even shared screen space with other actors. However, he does not appear in the completed film.
Sharib Hashmi – Sharib Hashmi was another face featured in the teaser but audiences could not spot him in the theatrical version.
Inaamulhaq – Actor Inaamulhaq also appeared alongside Rahul Dev and Sharib Hashmi in the promotional video, yet his scenes are absent from the final film.
Mika Singh – Singer Mika Singh, who stood between Suniel Shetty and Daler Mehndi in the teaser, is also missing from the movie.
Despite these missing faces of the celebrities, Welcome To The Jungle has been receiving positive responses from audiences for maintaining the fun, chaos and comedy that made Welcome (2007) and Welcome Back (2015) a pop culture phenomenon.
For your reference, the film boasts a grand ensemble cast featuring Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Disha Patani, Jacqueline Fernandez, Arshad Warsi, Jackie Shroff, Paresh Rawal, Raveena Tandon, Lara Dutta, Farida Jalal, Johny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Tusshar Kapoor, Rajpal Yadav, Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, Daler Mehndi, Aftab Shivdasani, Mukesh Tiwari, Yashpal Sharma, Kiran Kumar, Zakir Hussain, Vindu Dara Singh, Urvashi Rautela, Hemant Pandey, Brijendra Kala, Feroze Khan (Arjun), Late Pankaj Dheer, Puneet Issar, Sudesh Berry and Jeetu Verma.
The film also holds special significance as it is based on one of the last scripts written by late legendary writer Neeraj Vora before his passing in 2017. Directed by Ahmed Khan, the third installment follows another comic adventure with a large starcast.
While fans may be surprised to see a few actors missing after watching the teaser, the film still delivers the light-hearted entertainment the Welcome franchise is known for. If you’re planning to watch it, do not miss from enjoying its comedy, the ensemble performances and the fun ride by keeping an eye out for all the familiar faces that do make it to the big screen.
