Ever since the trailer for the much-awaited Welcome To The Jungle was released, it has sparked an interesting debate among netizens. The official third installment of the popular Welcome comedy franchise has been drawing comparisons between the upcoming comedy entertainer and the 2008 Hollywood satirical action-comedy Tropic Thunder.
But in the matter, the makers of the film have not officially addressed these similarities, but since the trailer was released, social media users have actively been discussing the familiar elements seen.
On social media, netizens pointed out the biggest similarities being the central plot of the film, where a group of individuals heads into a jungle to shoot a fake film, but they unexpectedly land in danger and bigger troubles. While in the Hollywood film Tropic Thunder, a bunch of actors are taken into a real jungle to shoot a war movie, who soon find themselves caught in dangerous and unexpected situations.
Similarly, Akshay Kumar’s upcoming comedy drama Welcome To The Jungle trailer features a large number of popular actors navigating chaotic adventures in a jungle backdrop with a similar plot of a fake movie shooting that has led audiences to speculate if the film is a copy of the Hollywood film.
Netizens specifically mentioned that the comedy, confusion, and unique characters were the main points of Tropic Thunder, and so the presence of multiple actors, humor, misunderstandings, and survival drama amid the fake movie shooting in Welcome To The Jungle has fueled the comparisons.
Amid the debate, a section of users also noticed the similarities with Akshay Kumar’s film Tees Maar Khan, highlighting that both the films have the premise of shooting a fake film in a jungle area, with both also essaying the story of an actor who was once a top star.

With netizens noticing different similarities every day, the comparisons continue to create buzz. And audiences are eagerly waiting for the verdict on whether Welcome To The Jungle is a copy of other films or has its own unique story to tell despite the similarities.
