Actor Akshay Kumar recently shared an update on the much-awaited sequel of the Hera Pheri franchise. He said that Hera Pheri 3 migh start this year.

Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar recently updated fans about Hera Pheri 3. In an interview, he shared that the highly-anticipated film might start this year.

In conversation with Pinkvilla, Akshay Kumar, who is promoting his upcoming film Sky Force, said, “Even I am waiting to start Hera Pheri 3. I don’t know, but if everything goes well, it will start this year.” He continued, “When we started Hera Pheri, we didn’t know it would go ahead to become such a cult. Even when I saw the film, I didn’t understand. Yes, it was funny, but none of us expected the characters of Babu Bhaiya, Raju, and Shyam to become a cult.”

He added, “The sequel should be like that, radically different. Take a quantum leap. Take your character in a different background, different world. Take the audience also to a different world. That’s how it should be. If it comes out like that, fine. But then let’s see how it works out.”

We asked Paresh Rawal about what it is like to be back on sets with Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty for Hera Pheri 3 and if their equation is still the same.

He exclusively told us, “Yeah, we still have. After Hera Pheri, too, we have worked in many films together, and we respect each other as an artist, as human beings and friends. They are all secure actors. And we know what we have to do. It’s not a kind of dark area where we don’t know what is expected of us. We know character mein kya karna hain kya nahi karna hain.”

Meawhile, on the work front, Akshay Kumar, will be next seen in Sky Force, co-starring Veer Pahariya. The film will release in theatres on January 24.
