The third chapter of the iconic comedy-drama Hera Pheri, starring Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal, has been confirmed, Producer Firoz Nadiadwala stated in a recent interview.
“You’ll get to see it very soon with the same star cast – Akshay ji, Paresh bhai and Suniel ji. 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,” Nadiadwala told Bollywood Hungama.
Hera Pheri was released in 2000 followed by Phir Hera Pheri in 2006. Both the films, over the years, have managed to gain cult status for their hilarious script and entertaining performances.
While the producer did not reveal much, he hinted that they have already shortlisted a director for the next sequel. “We are in talks. We’ll make the announcement soon,” said Nadiadwala.
The first part was directed by Priyadarshan, while the sequel was written and directed by the late Neeraj Vora.
Firoz Nadiadwala also seemed positive that he can create a franchise with Hera Pheri, with each film earning big.
He also said, “Sustaining at the box office is important. And the moment you take anything for granted, it falls. Because we hope that God willing, we can make more parts, it should be better than the earlier parts. We hope that there will be a new film released every 15 months.”
