New Delhi: Ahead of the release of his film Bhooth Bangla, Akshay Kumar interacted with fans via an Instagram Live session. During this interaction, he answered numerous questions and treated his fans to a surprise.

What Did Akshay Say About ‘Hera Pheri 3’?

During the live session, a fan asked a question regarding Hera Pheri 3.

Responding to this, Akshay Kumar stated clearly, "I knew this question was bound to come up, but as of now, there is absolutely nothing happening with Hera Pheri 3."

This statement has undoubtedly left fans feeling somewhat disappointed.

What Happened Previously Regarding the Film?

Ever since its announcement, Hera Pheri 3 has remained a constant topic of discussion. The film was expected to once again feature the iconic trio of:

• Paresh Rawal (Babu Bhaiya)
• Suniel Shetty (Shyam)
• Akshay Kumar (Raju)

Controversy Creates Complications

Some time ago, reports surfaced that Paresh Rawal had exited the film, citing "creative differences" as the reason. Subsequently, the situation escalated to such an extent that Akshay Kumar's production house even served him a legal notice. However, the dispute was eventually resolved, and news emerged confirming Paresh Rawal's return to the project.

The Craze for the Franchise Endures

Both Hera Pheri (2000) and Phir Hera Pheri were massive superhits. The characters from these films remain immensely popular among audiences even today—particularly Babu Bhaiya's dialogues.

For the time being, there are no concrete updates regarding Hera Pheri 3. It remains unclear when production on the film will begin or when it will be released. Fans will have to wait a little longer for further developments.
