Welcome 3: Akshay Kumar Charges A WHOPPING 95 CRORE Deal For The Blockbuster Return; Other Actors EXITING The Cast? - Here's What We Know!
'Welcome 3' is the talk of Bollywood as Akshay Kumar returns to the franchise after missing the second sequel, 'Welcome Back.'
With news that Akshay Kumar will make a fortune for his role in 'Welcome 3,' Bollywood is buzzing. This reunion took several turns. Akshay initially resisted returning due to a well-documented falling out with producer Firoz Nadiadwala during the franchise's second film. Akshay's tight bond with Firoz's cousin Sajid Nadiadwala complicated their relationship.

Firoz Nadiadwala's persistence got Akshay Kumar back to 'Welcome'. Akshay reportedly earned Rs 95 crores for his participation.
When the star returns, the curtain falls on other famous names. Anil Kapoor, Nana Patekar, and John Abraham, franchise mainstays, have left 'Welcome 3.' Anees Bazmee, the franchise's creator, also departs for this chapter.
Anees' absence invites speculation, especially given his claims of getting overpaid for 'Welcome Back,' forcing him to be cautious in his future obligations. Anees Bazmee may appear in 'Hera Pheri 3' if he can settle his prior dues. Firoz Nadiadwala and his writers continue writing 'Welcome 3''s script.
In the midst of this dynamic landscape, Akshay Kumar readies himself for the release of 'OMG 2' alongside Yami Gautam and Pankaj Tripathi on August 11, in a cinematic showdown with 'Gadar 2,' featuring Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel.
