His statement comes in response to articles that have linked his name to an alleged exit from the film. While Hera Pheri 3 continues to remain a highly anticipated project, Shankar’s clarification brings his perspective into focus, indicating that the circulating narrative may not accurately reflect the situation.

What Sparked The Exit Buzz?

In a conversation with News18, Rohan Shankar revealed that despite the hurdles, director Priyadarshan remains committed to his work. Shankar explained, “I was in talks, and it was supposed to happen, but it didn’t because of legal issues. Hopefully, if Hera Pheri 3 happens and if Priyadarshan sir is there, maybe I will be too.” These comments from the writer were allegedly taken out of context and sparked the chatter online about the further delay of the much-anticipated reunion Hera Pheri 3.

Legal Troubles Surrounding Hera Pheri 3

For those unaware, Hera Pheri 3 faced unexpected legal hurdles shortly after its announcement. A producer from South India filed a case in the Madras High Court, questioning whether the film could even be made. They also claimed that the rights to the franchise don’t belong to producer Firoz Nadiadwala.

According to a Bar and Bench report, Seven Arts International Limited approached the court, asserting that Nadiadwala was only authorised to produce one Hindi remake of the Malayalam cult classic Ramji Rao Speaking (1989). That remake, released as Hera Pheri in 2000 and directed by Priyadarshan, was within his rights. The production house claimed that Nadiadwala overstepped by making Phir Hera Pheri in 2006. He even sold the rights for a third film. This has now escalated into a legal dispute. The court questioned whether Hera Pheri 3 is legally permissible to proceed.
