Hera Pheri 3: Farhad Samji Out, Priyadarshan Returns – Akshay Kumar Shares Exciting News with Fans!

The day all Akshay Kumar fans have been eagerly anticipating has finally arrived! It’s more than just a movie announcement; it resonates with everyone’s emotions. Yes, we’re talking about Hera Pheri 3, and the exciting news comes straight from Akki himself, who has shared this tremendous update—truly a good newwz moment (pun intended, referencing his film Good Newwz). Fans can rejoice as the original team is back in action! In 2023, there was widespread shock when it was revealed that Farhad Samji would direct what many hope will be an all-time blockbuster sequel to Hera Pheri. Given the harsh criticism of Farhad’s previous comedy films and a string of failures, both fans and neutral cinephiles were unsettled by his involvement. However, it seems the makers have finally listened to the concerns of the audience.
Several months ago, producer Firoz Nadiadwala announced that the hurdles for Hera Pheri 3 had been cleared, with reports indicating that production was set to ramp up. Nonetheless, fans remained anxious about Farhad Samji at the helm of such a significant film. But in an exciting turn of events, the makers have replaced him with the legendary master of comedy, Priyadarshan.For those unfamiliar, Priyadarshan directed the original Hera Pheri in 2000, which became a cult classic. The sequel was helmed by the late Neeraj Vora, and now, after 25 years, the iconic filmmaker is making his return to the franchise.
The revival began with Akshay Kumar wishing Priyadarshan a happy birthday on social media. The director responded, “Thank you so much for your wishes, Akshay. In return, I would like to give you a gift: I’m willing to do Hera Pheri 3. Are you ready, @akshaykumar, @SunielVShetty, and @SirPareshRawal?” Akshay’s enthusiastic reply included a humorous emoji and confirmed the legendary director’s involvement: “Sir!!! Your birthday, and I got the best gift of my life. Chalo karte hain phir thodi hera pheri :). With Priyadarshan back on board, fans can look forward to a thrilling continuation of the beloved franchise!
