Welcome To The Jungle is being directed by Ahmed Khan. The teaser of the film wasn't welcomed by fans.

The actor will next be seen in the role of Former Prime Minister Of India Atal Bihari Vajpayee from Kangana Ranaut's Emergency - a film based on Indira Gandhi.

Meanwhile, Shreyas Talpade made his debut with sports drama Iqbal in 2005. He started the shooting of the film, a day after his wedding and didn't get to meet his wife for at least a month and a half. Do you know he was even asked to cancel his wedding because Iqbal couldn't be married?

After Iqbal, he did some great films like Dor, in which he played the comic role of a behroopiya, a man with many disguises. The film and his performance were applauded by one and all -- from movie critics to audiences. With movies like Bombay To Bangkok, Welcome to Sajjanpur, Golmaal Returns, Aage Se Right, Golmaal 3, Housefull 2 and Golmaal Again, he got typecast into comedy roles; and so, the opportunities kept getting bleak with time.
