The fact that the actors referred to each other with the filmy names Raju and Shyam has got the fans excited. Some of them believe that this is their way of dropping subtle hints about a Hera Pheri 3 in the making. Readers would be aware that the rumors about Hera Pheri 3 have been doing the rounds for years together. The franchise is expected to return to the big screen 16 years after the sequel Phir Hera Pheri was released. Paresh Rawal too has hinted about a third installment is in making its way back in 2021 whereas Feroz Nadiadwala confirmed the same. You’ll get to see it very soon with the same star cast – Akshay Ji, Paresh Bhai, and Suniel Ji. The story is in place, and we are working on certain modalities. It’ll be made in the same way, retaining the innocence of the characters. We can’t take past achievements for granted. So, we have to be extra careful in terms of our content, story, screenplay, characters, mannerism, etc.,” he had said. Speaking of the comedy franchise, Hera Pheri was released in 2000 whereas its sequel Phir Hera Pheri was released in 2006. We wonder if the actors just sealed the deal with this post but our guess is as good as yours! Looks like we will have to wait and watch.
