Akshay Kumar Confirms Hera Pheri 3 Is NOT Being Made Right Now; Jokes, “Aayega Bas Budhapa Na Hojaaye Tab Tak”

Hera Pheri 3, starring the original cast—actors Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal—has been embroiled in controversy from the start. Fans have been eagerly anticipating Hera Pheri 3, which would reunite the beloved trio. However, the project has faced several hurdles, including Paresh Rawal’s sudden exit, which shocked both fans and Akshay Kumar, who had acquired the rights to the franchise. The film also became the focus of a legal battle, with a South-based producer clashing with Firoz Nadiadwala over the franchise’s copyright ownership.

Akshay Kumar Says Hera Pheri 3 Won’t Happen Sooner

In a conversation with Subhankar Mishra on his YouTube channel, ahead of the release of Bhooth Bangla, Akshay Kumar addressed the question of whether Hera Pheri 3 has resolved its issues and is back on track. Unfortunately, the film is not happening anytime soon, Akshay revealed. “Hera Pheri 3 abhi filhaal toh nahi ban rahi,” said Akshay.

When the host expressed his shock over this news, the actor replied, “Mujhe khud jhatka laga tha. Koi baat nahi, Welcome bana li. Thoda kuch mantra padna padega ki sab theek ho jaaye. Abhi ek saal toh nahi hain. Uske bohot saare issues hain, aisa nahi hain ki hum teeno [actors] saath nahi hain. Welcome to the Jungle mein hum teeno saath hain. Kuch kuch cheesein hoti hain jo main camera pe nahi bol sakta. Bohot saari cheezein, agreements hain, which takes the project backwards.”

He further added, “Apne aap ayega, jab waqt aayega tab ban jaayega. Bas yahi hein ki budhapa na ho jaaye tab tak.”
