Script Memorized: Tusshar Kapoor Lauds Akshay Kumars Sharp Work Ethic

Mumbai:  As the countdown begins for the theatrical launch of the multi-starrer comedy Welcome to the Jungle, actor Tusshar Kapoor has shared fascinating behind-the-scenes insights into the project. In a recent media interaction, Kapoor heavily praised his co-star Akshay Kumar, describing him as one of the sharpest, most dedicated actors in the Indian film industry who surprisingly holds the entire movie script at the tip of his fingers.

Reflecting on his experience working within the star-studded production, Kapoor highlighted how Kumar seamlessly balances an energetic, prank-filled environment on set with an uncompromising work ethic. "Akshay is incredibly sharp; he literally remembers the entire script by heart," Kapoor revealed. "Even though he is constantly joking around and keeping the atmosphere light with his trademark banter, his actual preparation and speed when the camera rolls are unmatched."

Beyond Kumar’s acting prowess, Kapoor addressed the timeline of the film's production, crediting director Ahmed Khan’s unyielding artistic commitment for the scale of the final product. Dealing with a massive ensemble cast that features dozens of prominent names can easily dilute individual screen time, but Kapoor assured fans that Khan successfully gave every single actor their due relevance in the narrative.

"Ahmed Khan never compromised on his visualization or execution," Kapoor explained. "He structured the story beautifully to ensure that the massive cast didn’t just crowd the frame, but genuinely left a distinct identity. That precision is precisely why the film took its time to complete, driven entirely by his creative passion."

Produced by Firoz A. Nadiadwala alongside Rakesh Dang and Vedant Vikas Bali under the Base Industries Group banner, Welcome to the Jungle is locked and loaded for a massive nationwide theatrical release on June 26, 2026.
