A viral social media screenshot has claimed that Nana Patekar “took a dig” at the makers of *Welcome To The Jungle* for allegedly not including him (as Uday Shetty) and Anil Kapoor (as Majnu Bhai). The post circulated online in connection with the film’s trailer event in Mumbai and is framed as an alleged Instagram story quote in Hindi. However, multiple outlets report that the screenshot is not verified and appears to be either AI-generated or digitally altered. Nana Patekar has not publicly made any such comment. The reports also note that Akshay Kumar, who stars in the third *Welcome* film, acknowledges that Patekar and Kapoor are not part of the current cast and says the movie continues the franchise’s legacy through new characters. The film’s cast lineup includes Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty, along with Disha Patani, Jacqueline Fernandez, Arshad Warsi, and others. The trailer receives mixed reactions, but the specific allegation that Patekar criticized the filmmakers is not supported by any confirmed statement.
