The buzz is that, after a long duration of six years, the sequel for a hilarious laughter bomb ' Welcome ' is on the cards. The filmmakers are planning to make the sequel of Akshay Kumar , Katrina Kaif starer comic caper ' Welcome '. The shooting will probably start later this July. Apparently ,the main actor Akshay Kumar who created magic in ' Welcome ' will not be the part of its sequel. Instead of him, muscle man ' John Abraham ' may essay the title role in the sequel which is named as 'Welcome Back'.

According to the source, the reason behind Akshay's walkout from the movie is that the duo, Akshay Kumar and the producer Firoz A. Nadiadwala had some conflicts a couple of years ago. Hence, the actor and producer duo have decided not to collaborate in the sequel. The duo previously has given the laughter riots like ' Hera Pheri ' ,' Awara Paagal Deewana ' ,' Phir Hera Pheri ' and ' Welcome '.

Now the latest buzz is that the filmmakers may rope in John Abraham to play a lead with Nana Patekar , Paresh Rawal and Anil Kapoor in the movie. Nana, Anil and Rawal also have essayed the key roles in the original.

The insider source claimed that the director Anees Bazmee and John Abraham will probably finalize the deal this week.
