Akshay Kumar's Nostalgic Nod to Katrina Kaif
In November last year, Akshay took to Instagram and dropped a catchy video with co-star Disha Patani from the sets of 'Welcome to the Jungle'. He also added an audio of the new version to the post. In the clip, Akshay and Disha were seen grooving to the peppy beats of the song "Uncha Lamba Kad." It was his caption that grabbed most of the netizens' attention, as he gave a special shout-out to his former Welcome co-star Katrina Kaif. "From our hearts to yours!! What a throwback, 18 years & still an all-time favourite. With so much nostalgia, beautiful Disha & I bring you 'Welcome to the Jungle'... Never forgetting our Queen Katrina (red heart emoji) #WelcomeToTheJungle #Welcome3," he posted.
