Actor Suniel Shetty is currently on a promotional spree for Hunter Season 2. During the conversation, he opened up about his early life, struggles with self-doubt, and more. The actor also reacted to a Hera Pheri meme, praising filmmaker Priyadarshan for the film's iconic dialogues. He even talked about Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal controversy, stating "Hera Pheri is not a joke."
In a conversation with Pinkvilla, Suniel Shetty stressed how today's film's are just Whatsapp jokes. He said, "Hera Pheri is not joke. Hera Pheri situation hai. Meri fatti padi hai, toh fatti padi hai. Usme mai dialogue kya bolunga. Uske reaction se ye line funny hojata hai (Hera Pheri is a situation. If I am scared, I am scared. What dialogue will I say in this. The reaction of this dialogue is funny)."
Praising the fimmaker, Shetty said, "That's Priya Darshan, that's Neeraj Vora (who wrote Hera Pheri's dialogues)."
Hera Pheri 3 has been embroiled in controversy after Paresh Rawal's sudden exit, which led to a fallout with co-star Akshay Kumar. However, contrary to reports of his return, Rawal maintained that his decision to step away from the project is final "for now". The veteran actor initially cited not feeling connected to the project as the reason for his exit.
Paresh Rawal has rejoined the cast of Hera Pheri 3 as Baburao, thanks to the efforts of Sajid Nadiadwala and Akshay Kumar, who helped reconcile the team. Rawal had initially exited the film, sparking a legal battle with Akshay Kumar's production house, which sought Rs 25 crore in damages. However, the actor has now confirmed his return, stating that all issues have been resolved and the team is working together again.
Priyadarshan is set to direct the film, which will also star Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty, reuniting the iconic trio. The film's production is moving forward, with the cast and crew fine-tuning their creative vision.
