In the time of sequels and remakes, the sequel that every film enthusiast is waiting to see with bated breath is Hera Pheri 3 . A lot has been said and written about the sequel of late, but the project is yet to be officially confirmed by the makers. The latest update on the same is that Akshay Kumar , Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal might make a comeback to the blockbuster franchise to headline the third instalment.

According to some industry insiders, producer Firoz Nadiadwala is yet to lock the script and the director for Hera Pheri 3 . A source reveals, “Over the years, the differences between Firoz and Priyadarshan , who directed the first Hera Pheri (2000), have been resolved. So, chances are that Priyan will direct the third instalment as well.”

The source goes on to say that director Anees Bazmee , who directed Welcome and Welcome Back for Firoz Nadiadwala , has also shown his interest in directing Hera Pheri 3. “At the same time, Firoz has also settled issues with Anees Bazmee , with whom he had a fallout before the release of Welcome Back . And Anees has also expressed a desire to direct Hera Pheri 3 . So there is a one percent chance that he may helm it. They are also to decide which subject to make the movie on — the Hera Pheri 3 that the late writer-director Neeraj Vora was to make and which was launched in 2015 or another subject that has inspirations from Hollywood’s Police Academy series.”

Firoz says that he will make the official announcement in next two weeks.
