Speaking to the media, Akshay Kumar said, “Whatever is happening is happening in front of you all. I don’t want to say anything more. Everything is clear and visible.” This subtle yet pointed response comes amid viral discussions about creative differences and casting decisions for Hera Pheri 3.
The controversy gained momentum after Paresh Rawal allegedly made remarks implying creative conflict between the actors and the production team. Social media buzz also hinted at the possibility of changes in the iconic trio: Raju (Akshay), Shyam (Suniel Shetty), and Baburao (Paresh Rawal).
Despite this, fans remain hopeful that the magic of the original Hera Pheri (2000) and its sequel (2006) will return with its signature humor and chemistry intact. Suniel Shetty, who plays Shyam, has also expressed optimism, saying the franchise’s return is a matter of “when, not if.”
Meanwhile, actress Wamiqa Gabbi and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan were seen defending Karan Johar in unrelated controversies, reflecting how Bollywood continues to be a hotbed of drama—on-screen and off.
As for Hera Pheri 3, the film remains in pre-production stages. No official release date has been announced, but the film is expected to begin filming later this year. Director Farhad Samji is reportedly onboard, though many fans have raised concerns about creative direction, comparing it with Priyadarshan’s original vision.
Regardless of the disputes, the legacy of Hera Pheri continues to spark nostalgia and anticipation. Whether or not the original cast unites, the expectations for this third installment are sky-high.
