Rajpal Yadav has commenced shooting for Akshay Kumar-led ensemble comedy Welcome to the Jungle, marking his return to work, days after he walked out of Tihar Jail on bail in connection with a cheque bounce case. The Delhi High Court had recently granted an interim suspension of Yadav's sentence until March 18 in Rs 9 crore cheque bounce case. Shortly after his release, Yadav shared his first public message on social media, thanking fans and well-wishers for their support. It is the third film in the Welcome franchise after Welcome (2007) and Welcome Back (2015), which were helmed by Anees Bazmee. Welcome To The Jungle is slated to release on June 26.
