Welcome to Jungle – Welcome 3 the upcoming franchise of Welcome is in trouble before beginning.

According to reports, the FWICE (The Federation of Western India Cine Employees) which has many trade bodies under its roof has said that they 'won't allow' Welcome 3 shoot as Firoz Nadiadwala hasn't paid Rs 2 crore dues to the technicians of the film.

The FWICE ahs also asked Akshay Kumar to support them.

As we all know, a funny tease announcing the arrival of Welcome To Jungle aka Welcome 3 was released which featured actors starting from Akshay Kumar to Sanjay Dutt, Suniel Shetty, Arshad Warsi, Paresh Rawal, Johnny Lever, Rajpal Yadav, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, Daler Mehndi, Mika Singh, Rahul Dev, Mukesh Tiwari, Sharib Hashmi, Inaamulhaq, Zakir Hussain and Yashpal Sharma.

As per reports, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has issued a non-cooperation on Firoz Nadiadwala for defaulting payments and also requested the support of the cast to halt the shoot.

President of The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), BN Tiwari has been quoted in Etimes, saying, “ We have informed all the actors of the film, including Akshay Kumar and Disha Patni that the federation has issued a non-cooperation on Firoz Nadiadwala for defaulting payments and that they should not shoot for the film unless pending dues of Rs 2cr is cleared for the technicians.”

He added, “Firoz Nadiadwala had paid the technicians of Welcome 2 in 2015 and the amount was about Rs 4cr, which was later reduced to Rs 2cr. However, Nadiadwala stopped payment of the cheque after we deposited it.”

FWICE has made an appeal to Jyoti Deshpande, C.E.O, Viacom 18 and other actors-technicians of Firoz Nadiadwala’s Welcome to the Jungle aka Welcome 3 to act upon the producer to pay the balance amount to filmmaker Anees Bazmee.
