The script has been locked and the makers are fast proceeding towards taking this cult comic franchise on floors.
In an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, Akshay Kumar informed that he is also waiting for Hera Pheri 3 just like the rest of world. “Even I am waiting to start Hera Pheri 3. I don’t know, but if everything goes well, it will start this year.” The actor went ahead to add, “When we started Hera Pheri, we didn’t know it would go ahead to become such a cult. Even when I saw the film, I didn’t understand. Yes, it was funny, but none of us expected the characters of Babu Bhaiya, Raju, and Shyam to become a cult.”
Watch the full interview:
Akshay couldn’t stop raving about his co-star, Paresh Rawal. “He is a very funny person in real life also. We were just shooting for Bhooth Bangla in Jaipur, and I have lots of fun with him. During Hera Pheri, we had a lot of fun but there are somethings which can’t be said on camera,” Akshay smiled.
Akshay Kumar is presently gearing up for his Republic Day 2025 release, Sky Force co-starring Veer Pahariya. Through the interview, Veer said, “I love Hera Pheri, but I have an unpopular opinion – I enjoyed part two more than part three.” Akshay reacted to the same, “I don’t know how, but Phir Hera Pheri suddenly became very popular.”
