Did Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif & John Abraham just sign on for Firoz Nadiadwala's Welcome 3?

A few days ago, choreographer-turned-director, Ahmed Khan confirmed that he would soon direct Akshay Kumar in a commercial entertainer produced by Firoz Nadiadwala. Khan's comments confirmed that Akshay Kumar and Firoz Nadiadwala had indeed, overcome their previous differences that had led to the Airlift star being dropped from Nadiadwala's Hera Pheri 3 and Welcome Back.

Firoz has reportedly not just signed Akshay Kumar on for a film by Ahmed Khan but is also planning to rope in the actor for the third third instalment of the successful Welcome franchise.

The film is set to be another comedy of errors - in keeping with the trademark Welcome style. The script is currently being worked on.

The movie will mark the return of the well-recieved Akshay Kumar-Katrina Kaif pairing after Tees Maar Khan.
