Hera Pheri 3: Suniel Shetty, Akshay, Paresh reportedly begin shooting, Fans react with Hera Pheri memes
The much-anticipated film Hera Pheri 3’s shooting begins on Tuesday with OG actors Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal at Mumbai’s Empire Studio, which is owned by producer Firoz Nadiadwala. We had also confirmed exclusively that Anees Bazmee has been replaced by Farhad Samji for this comedy entertainer.
Earlier it was rumoured that Kartik Aaryan would be stepping in to take forward the franchise. Fans on social media have expressed their delight to see the original trio reunite. Many Akshay fans also predicted that the comedy film would go on to break box office records.
The first film in the series came out in 2000. The cult comedy also starred Tabu, Om Puri and Gulshan Grover. Directed by Priyadarshan, Hera Pheri was written by Neera Vora. The Hindi film is a remake of the Malayalam film Ramji Rao Speaking (1989). Akshay, Suniel and Paresh also returned for the sequel, Phir Hera Pheri, which released in 2006. Writer Neeraj had directed it; however with his untimely demise in 2017, the third film was in limbo for a long time.
According to the Pinkvilla report, Akshay, Suniel, and Paresh have begun shooting for the film in Mumbai on Tuesday (February 21). The report also stated that Farhad Samji is directing the film, and not Anees Bazmee
A source close to the development told Pinkvilla, “The original Hera Pheri gang reunites to take this cult franchise forward. While ample meetings about the script have happened over the last few months, the team is now confident that Hera Pheri 3 will do complete justice to all the hype and anticipation around part 3 of Hera Pheri. Right from producer, Firoz Nadiadwala to the actors – Akshay, Paresh and Suniel are all excited with positivity to return on the set as Raju, Shyam and Baburao.”
On Twitter, excited fans shared their happiness over the film finally going ahead, some even put up memes and funny videos. Besides the comments on the original cast returning, Twitter also predicted that the film would go on to break box office records.
