After the hit "No Entry" in 2005, director Anees Bazmee is set to greet the audience with "Welcome" this year.

Maintaining the same winning note, Bazmee's "Welcome" is another comic flick and he is expected to start shooting next month.

Produced by Feroz Nadiadwala, the film will have Nana Patekar, Paresh Rawal, Anil Kapoor, Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif in important roles. The second female lead is yet to be finalised.

Himesh Reshammiya is expected to compose the music for the film.
