The cast and crew of Anees Bazmee's Welcome Back, the sequel to the hit 2007 Bollywood comedy Welcome, are back in the UAE to shoot the final schedule for the movie, which is due out in January 2015.
The movie stars Bollywood big hitters including Nana Patekar and Anil Kapoor, who reprise their roles from the original movie as Uday Shankar Shetty and Majnu Bhai respectively, while John Abraham takes over the lead from Akshay Kumar.
The crew began shooting in Abu Dhabi yesterday, and will now be filming in Dubai for the rest of this week. They will mostly be returning to India over Eid, then returning once more for a further week’s shooting in Dubai next week.
Welcome is about a couple of mafia brothers (Patekar, Kapoor) trying to get their sister (Katrina Kaif) married but are unsuccessful because no one wants to be associated with criminals, until she falls in love with a man (Akshay Kumar) who has no idea what he's getting into.
