'Hera Pheri,' the iconic comedy-drama, starring Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal, is all set to return for part 3. In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, producer Firoz Nadiadwala confirmed that 'Hera Pheri 3' is in the works and will return with the original star cast.
Nadiadwala told the publication that the team is currently working on the script and the official announcement will be made soon.
'The story is in place, and we are working on certain modalities. It’ll be made in the same way, retaining the innocence of the characters. We can’t take past achievements for granted. So, we have to be extra careful in terms of our content, story, screenplay, characters, mannerism etc,' he told Bollywood Hungama.
Nadiadwala further hinted that they are on the verge of shortlisting a director for the third chapter. 'We are in talks. We’ll make the announcement soon,' he said.
The original 'Hera Pheri' (2000) was helmed by Priyadarshan whereas the sequel 'Phir Hera Pheri' (2006) was directed by Neeraj Vora.
