Fans of the iconic comedy film Hera Pheri can rejoice as the original trio of Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty and Paresh Rawal are confirmed to be back for the third instalment of the franchise. However, the cast has not started shooting for the film yet.
As per a source close to the unit, the trio recently shot an announcement promo for Hera Pheri 3 to confirm their involvement in the project and to quash any rumours of other actors being cast in the film. The source also revealed that the film’s script is currently being worked on and shooting for the movie will begin much later.
The promo has been shot mainly for the fans, who have loved the film and its characters so much. It will serve as a reassurance that Hera Pheri 3 is indeed happening with the original cast. Farhad Samji will direct the film.
The announcement of the third instalment had fans excited, but earlier, Akshay Kumar had confirmed at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit 2022 that due to creative differences, he will not be a part of Hera Pheri 3. However, things changed, and producer Firoz Nadiadwala was able to convince him to return to the franchise.
During the HT event, Akshay had spoken candidly about his love for Hera Pheri, and his emotional response convinced Nadiadwala to make changes to the film to accommodate Akshay’s wishes.
The promo will be released soon, and fans can’t wait to see what’s in store for the beloved characters in Hera Pheri 3.
