Raju is back: Akshay rejoins ‘Sunil Shetty’ and ‘Paresh Rawal’ in ‘Hera Pheri 3’
The brand Hera Pheri is back to where it belongs. Our own Raju is back with Babu Bhaiya and Shyam for the third installment of famous Hera Pheri franchise.
After the makers of this epic comedy franchise announced its third installment last year, fans were not totally pumped up since the X-factor of Akshay Kumar was nowhere to be seen.
Akshay Kumar walked out of Hera Pheri 3 due to creative differences with producer Firoz Nadiadwala.
Producer Feroz Nadiadwala and director Neeraj Vora then chose to replace the star with John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan in the fray.
After having shot around 50% of the film in Mumbai and Dubai, Firoz Nadiadwala faced some financial crisis, which resulted in the shooting being hampered, and Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham walking out of the film.
The director has decided to bring the original trio of Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal on board.
The portions of the movie which have already been shot have been shelved and it will go on the floors with a new script.
Firoz Nadiadwala in conversation with Mumbai Mirror confirmed, “We are still finalising the details. In a month’s time we will know the exact cast and unit and will make an official announcement. Everyone is excited about the film.”
While Akshay, Suniel and Paresh are on board, the female lead is yet to be decided. The film which was to release in August this year will now probably be ready by first half of 2017.
Whatever happens, we will now see Hera Pheri 3 exactly the way we wanted.
