Quoting a source close to the production, an Indian publication reported, “Hera Pheri 4 hasn’t gone on the floors yet. Yesterday, Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal shot for a promo, announcing that the third part of the blockbuster comedy franchise is officially on and that it’s going on floors soon.”
The person also confirmed that the filming schedule for the title will begin in a month or two.
It was also clarified, “Although it’s Hera Pheri’s third part, it won’t be called Hera Pheri 3. Instead, the makers have decided to name the film Hera Pheri 4. The makers feel it justifies the story and viewers will understand the reason behind it once they see the film.”
Earlier this week, it was reported by Indian media outlets that the OG trio of Raju, Shyam and Babu Bhaiya is joining forces not only for the threequel of ‘Hera Pheri’ but also for two more sequels of ‘Welcome’ and ‘Awara Paagal Deewana’ respectively.

About the comedy cult classic, the franchise is headlined by A-list actors Paresh Rawal, Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty as the lead trio. The debut film in the series was written by Neeraj Vora while Priyadarshan directed it.
Later, Vora wrote as well as helmed the sequel. However, after the demise of Vora in 2017, the writing and direction credits for ‘Hera Pheri 4’ are yet to be unveiled. The reports though suggest that director Farhad Samji has been roped in for the job.
