According to our highly placed sources, Firoz Nadiadwala has got Ahmed Khan on board to direct this comedy of errors. "Firoz Nadiadwala and Ahmed Khan share a bond that goes way back in the 2000s. In-fact, Ahmed has also directed a film for Firoz Nadiadwala titled Fool n Final. While the film didn't do well at the box office, it has managed to get recognition on television. Firoz feels that Ahmed has the right aesthetics to direct Welcome 3 and has signed him for the comic caper," revealed a source close to the producer to Bollywood Hungama.

The entire team of Welcome 3 is confident that Ahmed will bring a new flavour to Welcome and will receive love from the audience all over again. The prep work is going on in full swing at the moment," the source told us further.
Apart from Welcome 3, Ahmed Khan will also be directing Awara Pagal Deewana 2, which will go on floors later next year. "Hera Pheri 3 will be directed by Farhad Samji, whereas Ahmed Khan has been bestowed with the responsibility of Welcome 3 and Awara Pagal Deewana 2," the source told us further.
