Akshay Kumar’s comedy entertainer, Welcome To The Jungle, appears to be off to a promising start at the box office. The film has already collected Rs 1 crore in advance bookings for its paid previews and opening day, according to trade analyst Ramesh Bala.
Speaking to NDTV, Bala said, “As of this morning, the film has registered advance bookings worth around Rs 1 crore for the paid previews on June 25 and its opening day.”
The early figures indicate a positive response for the ensemble comedy, which features a star-studded cast led by Akshay Kumar.
When asked whether Welcome To The Jungle would pose strong competition to Imtiaz Ali’s Main Vaapas Aaunga at the box office, Bala noted that the two films cater to different audiences.
“They belong to different genres, so both films should be able to co-exist,” he said.
