A few days ago Firoz Nadiadwala announced his plans of making the third part of the Hera Pheri series with Indra Kumar as the director, starring the original cast of Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal. The film which was then slated for a Christmas 2019 release, now seems unlikely.
However, since the announcement, not much has been accomplished and the script too is not the way Akshay had envisaged it to be.
“Having worked in a lot of comedies, Akshay needed a few changes in the script. But Indra is busy with the making and release of Total Dhamaal by the end of this year. So those who are waiting to see Baburao, Shyam, and Raju together again will have to wait till Akshay is happy with the script,” adding, “While Firoz lets the director handle the talkie portions on their own, he is a master of action, song and dance sequences. So he usually gets the action and dance choreographer to roll scenes under his supervision. In such a scenario the script needs to make both of them happy,” says a trade source.
Incidentally, Christmas 2019 was the same date announced by Bhushan Kumar for the release Mogul—the film that was to initially star Akshay Kumar.
But it does seem that Santa will not be carrying the film to the audiences next Christmas.
