Hera Pheri 3 Set to Begin Production with Original Cast
The much-anticipated third installment of the beloved ‘Hera Pheri’ franchise is officially moving forward, drawing considerable attention from fans. Iconic actors Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Suniel Shetty were recently spotted at Kalina airport in Mumbai, ready to embark on their journey to the film’s shooting location.
A video shared on social media captured the trio’s stylish departure, showcasing their fashion choices as they prepared for their roles. Akshay Kumar was seen in eye-catching checkered pants paired with a black shirt, improving his classic appeal. Paresh Rawal opted for a relaxed look in a casual shirt and jeans, while Suniel Shetty stood out in white pants and a T-shirt, projecting a suave image. Their collective presence at the airport sparked excitement and anticipation among eager fans, affirming their return as the cherished characters from the franchise.
The announcement of ‘Hera Pheri 3’ originally came about two years ago in February 2023. In a teaser, the trio had briefly donned their character outfits, yet the release of that promotional video was delayed, and updates concerning the film became sparse. However, this recent sighting of the actors together has reignited hope and enthusiasm among fans, indicating that production is indeed underway.
The ‘Hera Pheri’ series, which includes the original film directed by Priyadarshan and its sequel ‘Phir Hera Pheri’ helmed by Neeraj Vora, has garnered a dedicated fan base over the years. Both films have transcended mere entertainment; they’ve secured a place in popular culture, leading to countless memes and references across social media. The first film debuted in 2000, followed by the sequel in 2006, leaving audiences yearning for a continuation of the story.
Film producer Firoz Nadiadwala, who has long been associated with the franchise, recently secured the rights to his portfolio of films, including ‘Hera Pheri.’ This development followed a successful resolution of a legal dispute with Eros Entertainment. A source close to the producer shared that Nadiadwala has settled his financial obligations and is now in a position to revisit this celebrated project.
Further insights from insiders indicate that Nadiadwala has officially regained the rights and is poised to move forward creatively. “Firoz is thrilled to take the reins of ‘Hera Pheri’ again and is eager to bring these beloved characters back to the screen,” the source noted. Meetings with the original cast are expected to occur soon as the focus shifts towards the creative and logistical preparations needed for the film’s production.
‘Hera Pheri 3′ is anticipated to be a significant project for both the producer and the starring actors, encapsulating their mutual passion and commitment to continuing the series’ legacy. This collective enthusiasm is likely to energize fans as they await the next chapter in this iconic franchise.
