Is Akshay Kumar returning as Raju in Hera Pheri 3 after backing out? Here's what we know so far!

One of the most beloved and well-known franchises is Hera Pheri. Fans still like Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal as the main characters, Raju, Shyam, and Baburao. Now that the third installment is planned, Akshay Kumar regrettably won't be a part of it due to creative disagreements with the producers. Kartik Aaryan was allegedly brought on instead for the upcoming installment.

According to the most recent reports, Firoz Nadiadwala has reconnected with Akshay Kumar due to public demand. He also consented to rewrite the script.

A report states, While everything appeared to be set in stone with the casting of Hera Pheri 3 with Kartik Aaryan, the tides are again shifting. To resolve all of the issues and get Akshay Kumar back to the beloved franchise, Firoz has met with him several times over the past ten days. He is aware of how well-known the character is and agrees that Akshay's portrayal of the role elevated the character to new heights.

Hera Pheri cannot be made without Akshay Kumar

Discussions are also taking place about bringing back the most recognizable comedy series of Hindi cinema with the original actors. To make Hera Pheri 3 a movie that lives up to all the wait, excitement, and anticipation, Akshay has also expressed an interest in working with Firoz, both as an actor and conceptually. Even though there were rumors that the economics weren't working out, the screenplay, not the money, was the real reason Akshay turned down Hera Pheri. However, he and Firoz will now sit down and make decisions regarding every element of Hera Pheri 3. If all goes well, Akshay might return to his role as Raju in Hera Pheri 3.
