Hera Pheri released in 2000 and had a sequel titled Phir Hera Pheri in 2006, which was directed by Neeraj Vora.

Producer Firoze Nadiadwala in a conversation with Bollywood Hungama had earlier said that the original cast will indeed be returning for the third outing. “You’ll get to see it very soon with the same star cast – Akshay ji, Paresh bhai and Suniel ji. The story is in place, and we are working on certain modalities. It’ll be made in the same way, retaining the innocence of the characters. We can’t take past achievements for granted. So, we have to be extra careful in terms of our content, story, screenplay, characters, mannerism etc,” he said.

On the work front, Akshay was seen in Bachchhan Paandey, Samrat Prithviraj and Raksha Bandhan, and all tanked at the box office. His latest film Cuttputlli that released on OTT received mixed reviews. He will be next seen in Ram Setu, Oh My God 2, Gorkha, Capsule Gill, and Soorarai Pootru remake among others.
