Akshay Kumar Breaks Silence on Hera Pheri 3, Says the Film Is Not Happening Anytime Soon: ‘Jab Waqt Aayega Tab…’

Akshay Kumar said the sequel is stalled by legal and production issues, and the original trio remains attached, he said.

  • Actor Akshay Kumar confirmed that Hera Pheri 3 will not proceed for at least one year, stating, "Hera Pheri 3 abhi filhaal toh nahi ban rahi ."
  • Production house Seven Arts International filed a case alleging producer Firoz Nadiadwala lacked franchise rights and transferred unauthorized rights to Cape of Good Films without proper authority.
  • Despite the delay, the original trio of Akshay, Paresh Rawal, and Suniel Shetty remains united for Welcome to the Jungle, with Akshay clarifying that issues affecting Hera Pheri are not actor-related.
  • Director Priyadarshan, who helmed the 2000 cult classic Hera Pheri, remains attached to the third installment featuring iconic characters Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, Raju, and Shyam.
  • Complex agreements are pushing the project backwards, Akshay noted, though he expressed hope the film will eventually materialize, joking he hopes the cast does not age out first.
