Khan says 'Welcome to the Jungle' made on 115-125cr budget
Bollywood's Welcome to the Jungle pulled off a huge cast, over 30 stars, on a tight budget of ₹115-125 crore, according to director Ahmed Khan.
The film was shot in just 75 shifts, with daily shoots lasting around six hours, making for a pretty packed schedule.

Khan shared that most of the budget was covered even before release, thanks to ₹120 crore from OTT and music rights.
According to a report, production costs took up ₹60 crore and cast fees were ₹35 crore; Akshay Kumar chose profit-sharing over his usual upfront fee.
Managing nearly 900 people on set every day (plus parking for 50 vanity vans!) wasn't easy, but despite all that hustle, the movie has already crossed ₹100 crore at the global box office since hitting theaters recently.
