What is “Welcome to the Jungle” about?
The story revolves around Rajeev, played by Akshay Kumar, an actor trying to salvage his career after a series of failures. When a strange new project seems to offer him a chance for a revival, things head in an unexpected direction: a village mistakes his film crew for a real military unit, believing they have come to protect them from a fearsome criminal, Zatara, played by Jackie Shroff. No matter how many times Rajeev explains that he’s just an actor, he keeps getting drawn into one ridiculous situation after another, with the resulting confusion fueling much of the film’s comedy.
