Kumar, who played the role of 'Raju' in the film, sat down for a conversation at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit and discussed his upcoming work front in detail. He finally provided a sense of satisfaction to fans after years of waiting.
Kumar revealed that he is focused on completing the third installment of Welcome and that Hera Pheri is likely to go on floors in 2025. He said, "We are just making welcome at the moment, and as soon as her producer ki hera pheri khatam ho Jaye toh phir hera pheri shuru kar denge. But, yeah, sure, by next year, we will start, I hope everything works out and goes well." (We will start once the Hera Pheri of producers end).
The Sky Force actor expressed his optimism and mentioned that the shoot would commence next year if planned. He also hinted that the pre-production might be in motion.
