The client's name was not mentioned in the article but Bollywood Hungama has learned that Pen Marudhar is in the process of buying the overseas theatrical rights for Welcome To The Jungle. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Pen Marudhar’s team is confident that Welcome To The Jungle will have a great run overseas due to its comic genre, sprawling cast, and the popularity of the Welcome brand. Therefore, they are finalizing the deal, which is expected to close before the end of the month.”

Meanwhile, a trade source revealed, “JioStar’s Disney distribution arm has picked up the domestic theatrical rights. In fact, JioStar acquired the all-India theatrical distribution rights as well as the satellite and OTT rights for the film. In other words, Welcome To The Jungle will premiere on Star TV channels and JioHotstar after its theatrical run concludes. The company is confident in its potential not just in theatres but also on satellite and digital, which is why they readily came on board.”
