Legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar sent special wishes to Suniel Shetty on his 63rd birthday this Sunday. Tendulkar posted on his X-handle, “Happy birthday to my friend who is passionate about sports and staying incredibly fit, @SunielVShetty! May your year be filled with good health and joyful moments.”
Sachin Tendulkar, the leading run-scorer in international cricket with 34,357 runs and 100 centuries in 664 international matches, is known for his illustrious career. He was also part of the Indian team that won the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup.
On the professional front, Suniel Shetty has a lot of exciting projects lined up. He will be seen in ‘Welcome 3’ and ‘The Legend of Somnath’ among others. Speaking to ANI, Shetty said, “In the coming months, I will be seen in ‘The Legend of Somnath’. I am really looking forward to it. The film is almost ready, just some VFX work is left. I also have ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ and a show called ‘Nanda Devi’ with Lionsgate.” ‘Nanda Devi’ is reportedly an “explosive thriller”.

In a career spanning over three decades, Shetty has acted in notable films like ‘Dilwale’, ‘Mohra’, ‘Gopi Kishan’, ‘Krishna’, ‘Vinashak’, ‘Dhadkan’, the ‘Hera Pheri’ series, ‘Hulchul’ and ‘Main Hoon Na’. Fans are eagerly awaiting his return alongside Akshay Kumar in ‘Welcome to the Jungle’, the third installment in the popular ‘Welcome’ series. The film, which is slated to release this December, follows ‘Welcome’ and ‘Welcome Back’. The second installment, which released in 2015, featured John Abraham and Shruti Haasan instead of Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif from the original.
The upcoming film was announced with a promo video on Akshay Kumar’s birthday last year. Kumar shared the video with the words, “Khud ko aur aap sab ko ek birthday gift diya hai aaj” (I gave myself and all of you a birthday gift). If you like it and say thank you, I would say welcome (3) #WelcomeToTheJungle. In theatres, Christmas – December 20, 2024.” The video showed Akshay and the cast performing an a cappella ritual.
