After facing numerous delays and cast changes, ‘Hera Pheri 3‘ is finally underway with its original cast, featuring Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawaland Suniel Shetty. The film’s return to its roots is further solidified by Priyadarshan‘s comeback as director, having helmed the first installment. Recently, reports emerged that the trio, accompanied by Priyadarshan, filmed a promotional clip for the movie.
Recent Developments and Fan Anticipation
Paresh recently shared the re-release trailer for ‘Andaz Apna Apna’, prompting a fan to express their anticipation for Babu Bhai and Teja’s return with the message, “We are waiting for Babu Bhai Mr. Teza.” Rawal responded with a hint of upcoming developments, saying, “Soon soon! Before the next monsoon!”
Speculation on Release Date
The question remains whether Rawal’s recent statement hinted at the release date of ‘Hera Pheri 3’, which is expected to arrive in theatres during the first half of 2026. The franchise’s fans are extremely enthusiastic, and they have been posting humorous updates on social media following Rawal’s significant revelation about the release date.
Background of the ‘Hera Pheri’ Franchise
In 2000, ‘Hera Pheri’, directed by Priyadarshan, was released as a remake of the Malayalam film ‘Ramji Rao Speaking’. The film received moderate box office success but later achieved cult status, praised for its situational comedy and performances by Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal. Its sequel, ‘Phir Hera Pheri’, directed by Neeraj Vora, came out in 2006 and became a box office hit. Over time, the franchise has become iconic in Indian cinema.
The journey to ‘Hera Pheri 3’
Initially, ‘Hera Pheri 3’ was reportedly set to feature Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal, and filming had begun. However, production was halted, and the project was put on hold. Eventually, ‘Hera Pheri 3’ resumed last year with the announcement that the original cast would return, accompanied by the return of Priyadarshan as director.
