If you’re a Bollywood comedy fan, your wishlist just got longer.

Rajpal Yadav on Welcome to the Jungle: 27 Actors, One Big Madness
Rajpal described Welcome to the Jungle as a truly “mad, mad, mad” film, calling himself fortunate to be part of a project featuring a massive 27-actor ensemble — something he says hasn’t been seen in 20 years of Hindi cinema. Directed by Ahmed Khan and produced by Firoz Nadiadwala, the film is expected to hit theatres in roughly two months.
This kind of multi-starrer spectacle is rare. Even the classic ensemble comedy format — where a large group of equally prominent stars shares screen time — demands extraordinary coordination. Welcome to the Jungle seems to be betting big on exactly that chaos.

What Else Is Coming from Rajpal Yadav?
The actor dropped a full roadmap of his upcoming work during the interview:
| Film | Director | Producer | Expected Release |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bhooth Bangla | Priyadarshan | Ekta Kapoor / Balaji | April 17, 2026 |
| Welcome to the Jungle | Ahmed Khan | Firoz Nadiadwala | ~2 months |
| Haiwaan | TBA | TBA | Post Welcome |
| Police Station Mein Bhooth | Ram Gopal Varma | TBA | TBA |
He was particularly enthusiastic about Police Station Mein Bhooth, calling it “a very cute film” and suggesting it marks a true comeback for director Ram Gopal Varma — with 20+ actors that RGV himself launched, including Rajpal and Manoj Bajpayee.
Bhooth Bangla: The Movie in Cinemas NOW
Before all that, Rajpal is already sharing screen space with Akshay Kumar in Bhooth Bangla, a Priyadarshan-directed horror-comedy drawing comparisons to Bhool Bhulaiyaa. The film also stars Paresh Rawal, Tabu, Jisshu Sengupta, and Wamiqa Gabbi.
