Those
who've
heard
the
soundtrack
of
Welcome
know
that
the
lyrics
of
the
title
song
go,
'Welcome,
Welcome
To
The
Party,
Welcome...'
But
on
watching
the
promos
on
television,
one
sees
the
inclusion
of
the
word
Christmas:
'Welcome,
Welcome
To
The
Christmas
Party,
Welcome...'
It
was
Akshay
Kumar's
idea
to
orient
the
fun-filled
number
towards
the
Christmas
season
when
this
film
is
appropriately
releasing.
After
this
was
discussed
with
director
Aneez
Bazmee
and
producer
Firoz
Nadiadwala,
Wajid
of
Sajid-Wajid
was
asked
to
come
in
and
make
the
minor
addition
of
Christmas,
which
has
been
retained
for
the
film's
on-air
promotion
and
in
the
final
print
as
well!
Coincidentally,
the
Insha
Allah
song
in
the
film
has
also
released
on
air
weeks
before
Eid,
on
which
day
the
film
releases
in
cinemas
worldwide.
Remarks
Akshay,
'Welcome
is
a
film
about
fun,
frolic
and
laughter.
It's
a
film
about
celebration
and
we
agreed
that
it
would
be
nice
to
incorporate
the
Christmas
angle
in
the
title
track
to
make
it
even
more
topical
and
relevant
to
the
festive
season.'
Welcome
releases
on
December
20
by
Indian
Films
through
Studio
18.
