The Hera Pheri universe may welcome back Akshay Kumar, who did not have a very good year at the box office. Previously, it was widely reported in the media that the star had quit the franchise because he and the movie’s producer couldn’t come to an agreement.
Kartik Aaryan, who earlier this year delivered the smash hit Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, was brought into the movie when Akshay left. Paresh Rawal, the movie’s Babu bhaiyya, verified the news on Twitter.
The franchise is one of the cornerstones of Hindi cinema’s comedy genre, thus it is understandable that the development caused a major commotion on social media.
According to a rumour in the media, Firoz Nadiadwala, the film’s producer, has resumed talks with Akshay Kumar, who recently attended the Red Sea International Film Festival.
The producer concurred that, along with his co-stars Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal, Akshay’s portrayal of Raju in the Hera Pheri franchise is what makes it so unique.
While earlier it was speculated in the media that the disagreement was over Akshay’s remuneration in the film, the recent media reports state that the differences between the producer and the actor were majorly because of the script as Akshay wanted nothing but the best for the franchise which the team has built with so much love and passion.
The news has left Akshay Kumar fans expressing their happiness on social media as #HeraPheri3 is trending big time on Twitter.
The franchise Hera Pheri consists of two films – Hera Pheri (directed by Priyadarshan) and Phir Hera Pheri (directed by the writer of Hera Pheri- Neeraj Vora).
