‘Hera Pheri 3’ director in coma for the past 10 months

Actor-director Neeraj Vora who has acted in films like ‘Rangeela’, ‘Baadshah’, ‘Pukar’, ‘Company’ and ‘Mann’ to name a few, is quite unwell since a long time now. He is in coma since the last 10 months. He suffered a heart attack followed by a brain stroke in October last year. However, many are not aware of the fact that he is in coma since more than 10 months now.

For a long time, he was admitted to All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) and was termed as “patient who has been in coma for a long time”. Afterwards, he was moved to his close friend, Feroz Nadiadwala’s house called Barkat Villa, a room which has been converted into an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for his quick recovery.

A report in Mumbai Mirror states, “A room in filmmaker Firoz Nadiadwala’s Juhu home, Barkat Villa, has been converted into a fully-functional Intensive Care Unit (ICU). On the walls are throwback stills from ‘Rangeela’, ‘Virasat’, ‘Hera Pheri’, ‘Phir Hera Pheri’, ‘Golmaal’, ‘Daud’ and ‘Khiladi 420’ and in a corner, a stack of DVDs with a flat screen TV plays him blockbusters from down the years round-the-clock. This room has been home to writer-director-actor Neeraj Vora since March 11, with a 24-hour nurse, ward boy and cook. A physiotherapist, neurosurgeon, acupuncture therapist and general physician pay him weekly visits.”

Reportedly, he is showing signs of recovery. A friend who vists him often stated that he has started showing response to external stimuli and sensations. Due to his ill health, his upcoming movie ‘Hera Pheri 3’ has been put on hold. We wish him a speedy recovery.
