After returning to the big screen with Bhoot Bangla, Akshay Kumar is far from slowing down. The actor has a packed lineup with multiple big-budget and franchise films in the pipeline, spanning comedy, action, and even negative roles.
One of his biggest upcoming releases is Welcome to the Jungle, the third installment of the popular Welcome franchise. Directed by Ahmed Khan, the film features a massive ensemble cast including Anil Kapoor, Suniel Shetty, Disha Patani, Raveena Tandon, and Johnny Lever. With over 20 actors reportedly involved, this action-comedy is expected to be a full-on entertainer when it releases on June 26.
Another interesting project in his lineup is Haiwaan, where he reunites with Priyadarshan once again. The film also stars Saif Ali Khan and has already completed shooting. While the release date is yet to be officially announced, reports suggest it could arrive around August this year.
Looking further ahead, Akshay will be seen in Golmaal 5, directed by Rohit Shetty. Interestingly, this time he is expected to play a negative role, adding a fresh twist to the franchise led by Ajay Devgn. The film is likely targeting a 2027 release, although an official date is still awaited.
Apart from these confirmed projects, there has been ongoing buzz around Hera Pheri 3. However, Akshay Kumar himself has clarified that nothing is finalized yet, and work on the film has not officially begun.
With such a diverse lineup—ranging from comedy franchises to experimental roles—Akshay Kumar is clearly aiming for a strong comeback phase. Whether Bhoot Bangla kickstarts that momentum will soon be evident, but his upcoming films ensure that he will remain in the spotlight for the next few years.
