After months of speculation, emotional turbulence, and behind-the-scenes drama, the much-loved Hera Pheri franchise is finally set to return with its original magic. Hera Pheri 3 is officially in motion, bringing back the legendary trio—Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Suniel Shetty—under the direction of the franchise’s original helmer, Priyadarshan.
The journey to this reunion wasn’t without its share of hiccups. Earlier this year, Paresh Rawal’s unexpected exit from the project sent shockwaves through fans and the industry alike. However, thanks to the tireless efforts of producer Sajid Nadiadwala and filmmaker Ahmed Khan, the differences were resolved, and Rawal is now back on board as the beloved Baburao Ganpatrao Apte.
Producer Firoz Nadiadwala confirmed that the team is stronger than ever, crediting the deep-rooted friendships and mutual respect among the cast and crew. Akshay Kumar, in particular, played a pivotal role in mending fences, reaffirming his long-standing bond with Rawal and Shetty.
With filming expected to begin by the end of 2025, Hera Pheri 3 promises to deliver the same chaotic charm and timeless humor that made the original films cult classics. The return of Priyadarshan as director has further fueled excitement, as fans anticipate a nostalgic yet fresh take on the misadventures of Raju, Shyam, and Baburao.
As the laughter gears up to echo once again in cinemas, Hera Pheri 3 stands as a testament to the enduring power of camaraderie, legacy, and the magic of well-timed comedy. The wait may have been long, but for fans of the franchise, the payoff is shaping up to be well worth it.
