Awara Pagal Deewana 2 scrapped

Firoze Nadiadwala’s Hera Pheri 3, the sequel to the 2006 hit comedy Phir Hera Pheri has been in the news for its many hiccups.

Now we hear is that another venture by the same production house, Awara Pagal Deewana 2 has been scrapped too. A close source reveals, “Nadiadwala was in talks with choreographer-turned-director Ahmed Khan to direct the sequel but now he has no funds to make the film and has dropped the idea.”

This follows the debacle of Hera Pheri 2. First it was Suniel Shetty who walked out of the film owing to the delay in its shoot schedule. Then it was Abhishek Bachchan who distanced himself from the project citing similar issues. We were the first one to inform you that work on the film has been stalled since the first half of 2015. In fact actors had completed shooting the first schedule of the film in early of 2015 in Dubai, but there has been no progress since.
