Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, and Akshay Kumar are the driving forces behind the Hera Pheri series. One of Khiladi’s most famous characters, Raju, is regarded as such.
Not only is Hera Pheri one of the biggest brands in Indian cinema right now, but so are the characters Raju (Akshay Kumar), Shyam (Suniel Shetty), and Baburao (Paresh Rawal). Hera Pheri 3 is the subject of constant discussion, with rumours and industry talk emerging every few months. In fact, producer Firoz Nadiadwala has repeatedly stated that he intends to move forward with this comic caper. The newest rumour in the business is that Hera Pheri 3 is indeed being revived, with plans to start production sometime in 2019.
An insider claims that Firoz Nadiadwala has made the decision to settle all of his debts and start production on the third instalments of two of his favourite franchises, Hera Pheri 3 and Welcome 3. “Firoz Nadiadwala and producer Anand Pandit are speaking about Hera Pheri 3.” The three idiots—Raju, Shyam, and Baburao—can be brought back together by any number of permutations and combinations, but nothing has been put on paper as of yet. By God’s grace, everything will be clear within the next month or so, said a source with direct knowledge of the situation.
Firoz Nadiadwala owns the franchise for Hera Pheri, but if the legal requirements are met, he may partner with Anand Pandit on the third component. Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal are the driving forces behind Hera Pheri. One of Akshay Kumar’s most recognisable roles as well as one of the most recognisable figures in Indian cinema is Raju. Putting the production aspect aside, we’ve heard that negotiations are underway with a prominent Hindi commercial director to helm Hera Pheri 3; once all other production-related details are in order, those negotiations will move forward successfully. Before the Khiladi fans start speculating, the announcement of Hera Pheri 3 is not anticipated to be made on September 9, Akshay Kumar’s birthday, as legalities take time.
Aside from Hera Pheri 3, plans are also underway for Welcome 3, but Firoz will be responsible for this in his individual capacity. He is searching for the ideal director to carry out this humorous caper. While Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar will reprise their roles as Majnu and Uday, there isn’t much information available about the other leads.
