However, with the recent reports coming in from industry insiders, there is no truth to that and the successful trio is indeed coming back together not only for the threequel of ‘Hera Pheri’ but also for two more sequels of ‘Welcome’ and ‘Awara Paagal Deewana’ respectively.

Quoting a source close to the production, an Indian publication exclusively reported, “Akshay, Suniel and Paresh are coming together for not just the Hera Pheri sequel but also for sequels of Awara Paagal Deewana and Welcome.”

If Paresh Rawal is A Heart of Hera Pheri series then #AkshayKumar is the soul. Without Akshay #HeraPheri3 will be like a dead body without soul.

About the comedy cult classic, the first two parts of the franchise were headlined by A-list actors Paresh Rawal, Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty as the lead trio. Now with these constant entries and exits of actors in the cast, ‘Hera Pheri 3’ makers are yet to unveil more details about the new project.

Indian media reports suggest that the project is currently in the scripting and pre-production phase, and is expected to go on floors sometime later this year.
