Akshay Kumar to return as Raju in Hera Pheri 3? Here’s what we know

Hera Pheri is one of the most loved and popular franchises. The three main characters of Raju, Shyam, and Baburao played by Akshay Kumar, Suneil Shetty and Paresh Rawal are loved by fans to this date. Now the makers are planning the third instalment but sadly Akshay Kumar is not a part of it due to creative differences with the makers. Instead, Kartik Aaryan was rumoured to be roped in for the new instalment.

As per the latest report, Firoz Nadiadwala has again approached Akshay Kumar due to public demand. He has also agreed to make changes to the script.

As per a Pinkvilla report, “While everything was on paper with regard to the casting of Hera Pheri 3 with Kartik Aaryan, the tides are now changing again. Over the last 10 days, Firoz has met Akshay Kumar a couple of times to sort out all the differences and get him back to the loved franchise. He realizes how iconic the character is and also acknowledges that the credit to make the character scale new heights goes to the way in which Akshay enacted the part.”

The report added, “Hera Pheri can’t be made without Akshay Kumar. The idea is to bring back the most iconic comic franchise of Hindi Cinema with the original actors, and the discussions are going on at the moment. Akshay too has shown interest to collaborate with Firoz not just as an actor but also creatively to make Hera Pheri 3 a film that’s worth all the wait, hype, and anticipation. While there were reports of finances not working out, the reason for Akshay not doing Hera Pheri was never the money, but the script. But now, he and Firoz will sit down and decide on all the aspects of Hera Pheri 3. If everything goes well, Akshay could be back as Raju in Hera Pheri 3.”

As soon as the reports surfaced on the internet, fans flooded Twitter expressing their excitement:
