The much-anticipated comedy film 'Hera Pheri 3' continues to be one of the most awaited projects among audiences. Initial reports suggested that the film would begin production next year, with claims that lead actors Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Suniel Shetty had even filmed an announcement video. However, the production has not yet started, and lyricist Sameer Anjaan recently revealed in an interview that he is uncertain whether the movie will eventually be made.
Sameer Anjaan on the Uncertainty Surrounding the Film
In a conversation with Bollywood Hungama about 'Hera Pheri 3', Sameer admitted his doubts regarding the film's fate. He shared, 'Don't know if it will be made. We don't know what will happen. There is no clear-cut picture. Also, there is no guarantee if I will write for it. I wrote for the first version of Bhool Bhulaiyaa but not for the second version. Then I had to write for the third version. This goes on. It is not up to me if I will get a certain movie. If I am offered, then I will think what to write.'
Akshay Kumar Confirms Delay
During a recent chat with Shubhankar Mishra, Akshay Kumar confirmed that 'Hera Pheri 3' is not progressing at the moment. He stated, 'Maybe something will work out… maybe we need to say a few prayers. But as of now, it's not happening.' He also indicated that the film will not begin production anytime soon, at least not over the next year. Opening up about the hurdles delaying the project, Akshay added, 'There are some things I can't talk about on camera—agreements and other issues that keep pushing the project back.'
Bhooth Bangla Box Office Update
Meanwhile, Akshay's last released horror-comedy 'Bhooth Bangla' has been performing well at the box office. According to reports, the film has collected over Rs 78 crore in India in its first six days. Its worldwide gross collection stands at Rs 127 crore.
