Chandigarh 1 April 2025: Filmmaker Priyadarshan has shared his thoughts on filming the much-anticipated third instalment of the beloved Hera Pheri franchise. He reflected on the immense expectations surrounding the film due to the widespread popularity of its predecessors, acknowledging that he never foresaw such a lasting impact. He also spoke about the challenges Hera Pheri 3 presents, primarily because of the audience’s high hopes.
Interestingly, Priyadarshan was the director of the original Hera Pheri, which has heightened excitement among fans for his return to the franchise. However, he views this as a significant challenge. In an interview with ETV Bharat, he remarked, “I was very confident that Hera Pheri would work but I never expected it to become a cult film. It had decent humour and excellent performances. People never believed that Akshay, Suniel and Paresh can pull off a comedy because those days they were doing different kinds of movies. But it surprised them and the success of Hera Pheri was a turning point in their career.” Priyadarshan is currently working on Bhoot Bangla, a film that reunites him with Hera Pheri stars Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Tabu.
Summary: Priyadarshan reveals plans to start writing Hera Pheri 3 next year, reuniting Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Suniel Shetty.
