Akshay Kumar confirms return of Hera Pheri trio, says announcement coming soon
After much speculation and buzz in recent months, actor Akshay Kumar has finally confirmed the third installment of the iconic 2000s comedy ‘Hera Pheri’. From legal issues to cast exits, fans were left unsure whether the beloved trio would reunite again. Now, putting all doubts to rest, Akshay Kumar has confirmed that the film is very much in the works and that all issues have been resolved.
In a recent conversation on The Right Angle with Sonal Kalra Season 2, produced by Gautam Thakker Films, Akshay said, “Nahi, yeh publicity stunt nahi hai (No, this is not a publicity stunt.) The things went legal, so when legal things are involved, we cannot call it a publicity stunt; it is a real thing.” He further reassured fans by adding, “But ab sab kuch thik ho gaya hai (But now everything is fine.) Very soon, some kind of announcement can come. Yes, there were some ups and downs. But now everything is solved, and we are back together, and we have always been together. Yes, that’s it!”
His statement comes as a major relief to fans who were disheartened by earlier reports of creative and contractual conflicts, including rumours that Paresh Rawal had walked out and that Akshay himself had stepped away from the film.
A few weeks after saying Paresh Rawal had left ‘Hera Pheri 3’, the actor has now confirmed that he is back in the film. While talking to Himanshu Mehta on his podcast, the actor also spoke about the issues related to the movie and praised Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and director Priyadarshan.
