Fans have been eagerly awaiting Hera Pheri 3 for a long time. The film will once again reunite the famous trio of Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Sunil Shetty’s character of Raju, Baburao, and Shyam. However, the project has been making headlines with numerous controversies. Some time ago, Paresh Rawal’s sudden exit surprised both fans and Akshay. But now, Paresh has confirmed his return and revealed that shooting will begin in February-March next year.

What did Priyadarshan say about Hera Pheri 3?

Director Priyadarshan recently shared his thoughts on Hera Pheri 3. In a conversation with Pinkvilla, he said, “I cannot tell if I am doing the third part, unless and until I can crack a film which has to do justice to the first instalment. The first part was born, but the third one shouldn’t let it die. If I am doing the film, I have to make sure that it is tolerable for people who watched the first part.” Priyadarshan further stated, “I will never attempt a third installment unless I have a strong idea for the film. If I don’t find a good script that I believe in, I won’t do it. I have reached a peak in my career, and I don’t want to fall badly from there.”

All about Hera Pheri

In May 2024, Paresh Rawal announced his withdrawal from the third installment. Following this, Akshay Kumar who is also producing the film through his company Cape of Good Films filed a lawsuit against the project. However, Paresh announced his return shortly thereafter. The first installment of Hera Pheri was released in 2000 under Priyadarshan’s direction, and the pairing of Baburao Ganpat Rao Apte played by Paresh Rawal, Raju portrayed by Akshay Kumar, and Shyam by Sunil Shetty was well-received by audiences. Neeraj Vora then directed the sequel, Phir Hera Pheri, in 2006.
