Actor Akshay Kumar has entered the Bhojpuri entertainment space with the energetic track “Ghis Ghis” from the upcoming comedy film Welcome To The Jungle. The song has quickly become a talking point online, with audiences divided over whether the experiment successfully captures the essence of Bhojpuri music culture.
Directed by Ahmed Khan and produced by Firoz Nadiadwala, the film is scheduled for theatrical release on June 26. The song features vibrant dance sequences, colorful visuals, and regional musical influences aimed at appealing to a broader mass audience.
While many fans appreciated Akshay Kumar’s attempt to experiment with Bhojpuri-style music and performance, others questioned whether the track genuinely represents the richness and authenticity of Bhojpuri entertainment. Social media discussions intensified soon after the song’s release, with viewers debating its lyrics, choreography, and overall presentation.
Industry experts believe the inclusion of Bhojpuri elements reflects Bollywood’s growing interest in regional cultural influences and expanding audience demographics. The move may also help the film connect with viewers in North Indian markets where Bhojpuri music enjoys massive popularity.
Despite mixed reactions, “Ghis Ghis” has succeeded in generating strong online engagement and curiosity around the film. With a large ensemble cast, comedy-driven storytelling, and high-energy music, Welcome To The Jungle is expected to be positioned as a major commercial entertainer upon its theatrical release later this year.
