Akshay Kumar, who was last seen in Bhooth Bangla, is gearing up for the release of Welcome to the Jungle. The film marks his reunion with Raveena Tandon after several years, creating considerable excitement among fans. Directed by Ahmed Khan, the ensemble comedy features a star-studded cast and is one of the most anticipated projects in Akshay's upcoming slate.
On June 11, the cast came together for the film's trailer launch event in the city. However, Raveena Tandon was absent from the grand gathering. During the event, Akshay Kumar spoke about working with Raveena again and reflected on their long-standing professional association.
Praising Ranveen Tandon, Akshay said, "Her professionalism has not changed, she is still the same. I remember, we were shooting a film where the sun was about to set. There were only 25-30 minutes left, and the green room was quite far away. She (Raveena) had to quickly change and come back for the shot. That was impossible. But I still remember, she went into the generator van, quickly changed there and came back."
"A lot of changes have happened in her. She is a brilliant actor. The biggest change being, she was a heroine earlier, and now she is a heroine’s mother," he further added.
