Mumbai, December 5 - One of the most loved Bollywood film franchises, Hera Pheri is returning with its 3rd installment, 16 years after the "Hera Pheri 2". A lot has happened over the last few weeks regarding the casting of the movie, however, things are looking to back on track.
Akshay Kumar, who has been one of the three most important parts of the franchise as he played the iconic character of Raju in the first two films, recently revealed that he wouldn't be part of the 3rd Hera Pheri movie due to some issues with the script. The news of Akshay's exit disappointed his fans and neutral cinema audiences that they started a campaign, #NoAkshayNoHeraPheri on Twitter.
Akshay Kumar also revealed that he was also disappointed that things didn't work out, but now, according to Pinkvilla, producer Firoz Nadiadwala has reinitiated conversion with Akshay to short out issues and bring him back to play Raju in Hera Pheri 3.
It is said that Firoz, on public demand, has started conversations again with Khiladi Kumar as he realizes how iconic the character is and also acknowledges that the credit to make the character scale new heights goes to the way in which Akshay enacted the part. Akshay too has reportedly shown interest to collaborate with Firoz not just as an actor but also creatively to make Hera Pheri 3 a film that's worth all the wait, hype, and anticipation.
Hera Pheri and Phir Hera Pheri are two of the most iconic comic capers of Hindi Cinema, with Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal sharing a chemistry like no one else. The third installment will also feature Kartik Aaryan in a leading role along with the original trio. The makers are in conversations with multiple directors to helm Hera Pheri 3.
