Hera Pheri 3: Director & Producer

Chances are that Priyadarshan might not direct Hera Pheri 3. Farhad Samji and Raaj Shandliya are the rumoured directors for Hera Pheri 3. However, there has been no official announcement from the production side. Anand Pandit and Firoz Nadiadwala are the producers of Hera Pheri 3.

Controversies around Hera Pheri 3

In 2015, Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham were about to replace Akshay Kumar in Hera Pheri 3. Fans were unhappy with the decision, and the creators faced backlash on social media platforms. Later, Abhishek Bachchan said things didn't work out for him in Hera Pheri 3. In 2017, Neeraj Vora, the director of Phir Hera Pheri, passed away.  

In 2022, Kartik Aryan, who replaced Akshay Kumar in the sequel of Bhool Bhulaiya, was about to step in as Raju for Hera Pheri 3. But that didn't happen either.

Akshay Kumar has said yes to the Hera Pheri 3. However, it is not the first time the makers of Hera Pheri 3 approached the actor to play 'Raju' again. Earlier, Akshay Kumar denied starring in the movie due to 'cultural differences.'

Exclusive: Hera Pheri 3 to have a “lovable” don like Welcome! Know more about the Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal starrer

After a lot of speculations, Hera Pheri 3, seems to have finally fallen into place. The film’s franchise that boasted of star cast including Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal was in news after it was reported that Kartik Aaryan would be replacing Akshay in the latest part. However, the film’s team got together recently to shoot a promotional video and it was cleared that the third instalment would reprise the original casting.

Now we hear, that apart from the lead roles, the team is looking at casting a don in the movie. The character is said to be quite an interesting one and hence all the energies are now at roping the right actor for the part.

A source associated with the project tells us, “It’s quite a crucial role. Something like what Feroz Khan’s character of a don added to Welcome. So, this one too will be a lovable don like RDX from that film.”

Unlike what was reported earlier, the movie will now be directed by Farhad Samji and not by Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 director Anees Bazmee. The casting of the actresses in the film is underway.

Interestingly, the film’s third instalment was attempted back in 2016 when Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham were cast in the movie along with Shetty and Rawal. Though last time it couldn’t take off, we hope this time around it goes on floor and the shoot hits the finishing line soon.

Hera Pheri 3' Fans Are Upset With Reports Of Farhad Samji Directing The Film; Start A Petition To Replace Him

Hindi movie lovers were delighted to know that Akshay Kumar is back on board for Hera Pheri 3. The news came out that the original trio—Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal—started shooting for the third installment of the Hera Pheri franchise at a studio in Mumbai. Soon, netizens took to their respective social media accounts to express their happiness that Raju is back and Hera Pheri 3 is finally happening.

Though they were happy that the cast was back, fans were absolutely disappointed after they got to know that Farhad Samji would be helming the project and not Anees Bazmee. The TOI report states that the Housefull 4 director is helming the third part of the most-loved comedy franchise. As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the producers that Samji has been hired to direct the film. And from his recent track record, he has not delivered a film that has received love and appreciation from the audience. Fans took over Twitter and demanded to replace Farhad Samji with someone else. A few even started a petition on Change.org for the same. The title of the petition read, "Replace Farhad Samji as director for Phir Hera Pheri 3." The description of the petition states that people don't want Farhad Samji directing the cult classic film, and he needs to be replaced. Several YouTubers expressed the same emotion in their rant videos.

Also, reportedly, Kartik Aaryan, who was roped in for the film, has been dropped.
