Hera Pheri 3: The renowned filmmaker Priyadarshan has recently shared an update on the third part of the popular comedy franchise. Notably, the first part Hera Pheri was released in theatres in 2000 and became one of the cult classics of Indian Cinema. The sequel, Phir Hera Pheri hit the silver screens in 2006. The franchise starred Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal and Suniel Shetty in the lead roles. The trio got immediate recognition for their onscreen bromance and fans have been early waiting for the third part. Giving an update, Priyadarshan, who will be directing Hera Pheri 3, stated that he will start writing the script next year. He also emphasised on the pressure and challenges to make the third part equally entertaining to maintain the legacy of the cult franchise.
Priyadarshan told ETV Bharat, “I plan to start work, start writing Hera Pheri 3 sometime next year. It is going to be very challenging to make the third part because there will be too many expectations. People are waiting to see Akshay, Paresh and Suniel again and we always say that it is easy to make people cry, it is easy to scare people but to make them laugh is very difficult and that too without using double entendre dialogues ..you have to make humour so pure and identifiable. Then, humor also changes, and the taste of the society changes. We have to catch up with that. Characters have gotten older and accordingly people should believe…these are important things. I am taking it as a challenge. Let's see how it works. Definitely some situations will be exaggerated and people should feel that this could happen. Once I put the pen to paper only then I would know. I have to really fight out the challenge and make a good script.”
Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal and Suniel Shetty will reprise their roles in Hera Pheri 3. Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham will be joining the lead cast of the film.
