Akshay Kumar on Hera Pheri 3
Akshay Kumar, who is currently promoting his upcoming film Sky Force, spoke about the buzz surrounding Hera Pheri 3 in an interview with Pinkvilla. He said, “Even I am waiting to start Hera Pheri 3. I don’t know, but if everything goes well, it will start this year.” Overwhelmed by the response the original film received, he added, "“When we started Hera Pheri, we didn’t know it would go ahead to become such a cult. Even when I saw the film, I didn’t understand. Yes, it was funny, but none of us expected the characters of Babu Bhaiya, Raju, and Shyam to become a cult.”
Akshay, who will once again share the screen with Paresh Rawal in Bhooth Bangla, praised his co-star. He said, "We were just shooting for Bhooth Bangla in Jaipur, and I had lots of fun with him. During Hera Pheri, we had a lot of fun, but there are some things which can’t be said on camera."
