I think 26th is a lucky number for me.
I was just thinking about doing a fun comedy and Welcome to the Jungle came my way.
Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Farida Ji, and Kiran Kumar, who played my uncle in my first film.
It was so much fun working with both of them.
So, I think this is a moment that all of us should enjoy the success of Welcome to the Jungle."

Welcome to the Jungle Movie Release LIVE Updates: Raveena Tandon on the audience response to Welcome to the Jungle
In an interview with ANI, Raveena Tandon said, "Everybody has been calling me (after watching the film). Also, today is my son's graduation, that's why I took a day off. I think 26th is a lucky number for me. I'm 26th October born. So, 26th is lucky. Also, we're getting great reviews of Welcome to the Jungle. I think it's superb that in such a comedy where everybody is working hard, people are acknowledging the performance, which I think is terrific. What a great day."
She added, "I can describe this as a good thing for me. I was just thinking about doing a fun comedy and Welcome to the Jungle came my way. It was a lot of fun. We have known each other for so many years. Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Farida Ji, and Kiran Kumar, who played my uncle in my first film. Farida Ji played my mother in 'Ziddi' and 'Salaakhen', and many other movies. Then there is Paresh Rawal. Paresh has played the villain in so many of my films. It was such a great camaraderie. Both the girls, Jacqueline Fernandez and Disha Patani, are such lovely girls. It was so much fun working with both of them. One thing I would like to say is that Ahmed Khan has played a big role in this. He is really a person who is not only a very old friend, but he has also given due respect to every artiste. To have so many artistes in a film and to keep everyone together, to give equal importance is a very difficult task. And I think he has achieved it fantastically. Overall, the film has been appreciated by everybody. There is no one who hasn't messaged or called me to praise me and congratulate me. So, I think this is a moment that all of us should enjoy the success of Welcome to the Jungle."
