Akshay Kumar has officially confirmed that Hera Pheri 3 is back in motion, with the original trio—Paresh Rawal, Suniel Shetty, and Akshay himself—reuniting for the third instalment of the beloved franchise.
Addressing rumours in a candid chat with Sonal Kalra on The Right Angle, Akshay clarified the speculation that had clouded the film’s future. “This isn’t a publicity stunt,” he affirmed. “Legal issues had delayed things, but everything is now resolved and we’re back together.”
Fans had grown disheartened amid swirling reports about cast exits and contractual disputes, especially when Rawal’s departure was hinted at just weeks ago. However, the storm has passed. Akshay’s reassurance signals that the film is moving forward with its classic lineup and director Priyadarshan, who helped shape the franchise’s cult status.
The comedy trio’s chemistry has been widely adored since the original Hera Pheri was released in 2000, with Phir Hera Pheri in 2006 cementing their place in cinematic history. The announcement of the third part comes as a sigh of relief—and sheer excitement—for movie buffs across the country.
An official release date remains under wraps, but Akshay’s message is clear: fans won’t have to wait much longer for the laughter to return.
