Double Trouble? Akshay Kumar Is Playing His Own Dad in ‘Welcome to the Jungle’
- Akshay’s big double role reveal
- The official June release date
- Why the father-son vibe works
We just saw the coolest news about Akshay Kumar’s next big project. He is taking a page out of the classic Bollywood playbook. In the movie Welcome to the Jungle, he will play two different roles. A father. And his son. Double the action!
The film is coming to theaters on June 26. We are already counting down the days. It feels like a throwback to the movies we grew up with. Just like how Aaliyah Kashyap just shared her thoughts on ‘Main Vaapas Aaunga’, we are also getting those nostalgic vibes.
The aesthetic of this movie is everything. Think lush greens and wild, messy adventure. It has a very bright and bold visual style. It’s a total vibe. If you prefer a darker aesthetic, you might want to see if Ari Aster already wrote a ‘Hereditary’ prequel.
We love seeing actors challenge themselves. Playing two versions of yourself isn’t easy. But Akshay makes it look fun. It’s a huge moment for fans. It’s almost as surprising as when Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau just made their red carpet debut and shocked everyone.
Our Take
We think this is a genius move. Akshay is a king of physical comedy. Seeing him argue with himself on screen will be hilarious. It’s exactly what summer movies should be. Pure fun!
