Hera Pheri starring Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal continues to be one of Bollywood's most iconic comedy films. With its ridiculously funny plot and over the top characters Hera Pheri still makes many fans laugh out loud. Now Suniel Shetty has shared some insight into how the Hera Pheri crew shot one of Bollywood's most iconic comedy films.
Speaking to IMDb about the film, the actor said, "I don’t know how the film was made, it just happened. We arrived on the sets every morning, the costumes were basically just stretched and given to us, not even ironed. The director would ask us to sleep in the afternoon on paper, so we used to sleep on newspapers. He (Priyadarshan) said I don’t want you to be comfortable. When you get up, you should have rested, but stay uncomfortable. So, we wore no makeup, nothing. Akshay Kumar, me and Paresh Ji were constantly together, constantly rehearsing our lines, constantly improvising and Priyan sir is one man who knows when to say cut."
Hera Pheri starred Suniel and Akshay as Shyam and Raju who live in a house in Mumbai owned by Babu Bhaiyaa played by Paresh Rawal. The film follows the story of the trio as they find themselves trying to kidnap a young child to make some quick money.
"It was a film where action heroes were doing comedy and being controlled by someone like Babu Bhai, so audiences must have found that very amusing," he added.
An Ahmed Khan directorial Hera Pheri 3 is currently in works. The film is set for release in 2021.
