Priyadarshan on ‘Hera Pheri 3’: Nothing is decided and I can’t say whether this will happen

Bollywood is currently going through a season of remakes and biopics, isn’t it? But, filmmakers also have been making successful franchise films over the last 20 years or so. Now, veteran and seasoned director Priyadarshan has broken his silence on rumours regarding ‘Hera Pheri 3’.

Priyadarshan told news agency IANS: “It is true that I had one meeting with producer Firoz A. Nadiadwala and that was it. Nothing is decided and I can’t say whether this will happen.” He further said that superstar Akshay Kumar is interested in the project, but that is about it. Nothing beyond that has happened.

For those who are unaware, ‘Hera Pheri’ remains one of the biggest comic films in the history of Indian cinema. The film had starred Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal in lead roles. The film had its second part i.e. ‘Phir Hera Pheri’ which was also quite successful.

The veteran director further added, “At the moment, I have finished the filming of my present film ‘Marakkar: The Lion of the Arabian Sea’. I did it in 104 days and the 63 year old in me is completely drained. The post-production is presently on in Chennai and my son Siddarth has come from the US as he is the ‘visual producer’ of the film. He says he needs eight months for it and after that, I need three months to wrap it up.”

So, no timeline has not been set on ‘Hera Pheri 3’ yet. Stay tuned to Bollywood Bubble for all the latest news and updates.
