Speculations are rife around Akshay Kumar’s involvement in Hera Pheri 3. He’s doing it… He’s not doing it… Wait, he’s doing it now… What’s the behind-the-scenes manipulation of Hera Pheri 3’s casting?
There are also speculations about where these stories seem to be coming from and they are definitely not coming from Akshay Kumar’s team. Producer Firoz Nadiadwala is in a bit of a rush to make a comeback after a fairly long break from film production. Hera Pheri is its best known franchise. What is the best way to make a comeback?
Sadly this project doesn’t make sense without Akshay Kumar. It was almost like Agra except for the Taj Mahal. Hence all those baseless stories of AK’s return to Hera Pheri started.
The latest on that front is a fresh salvo at a popular portal that has drummed up a new version of AK’s will-he-want-say narrative.
A report in the portal claimed that everything was on paper regarding the casting of Hera Pheri 3 with Kartik Aaryan. But now there is a change. Over the past few days, Firoz has reportedly met Akshay Kumar several times to sort out all the differences and bring him back to the franchise. Firoz realizes how iconic Raju’s character is and acknowledges that the character’s success goes to Akshay for how he played the part.
The truth is, there is no chance of Akshay Kumar returning to Hera Pheri. One of the close friends of the star revealed, “These stories are being spread by someone who desperately wants to make the project (Hera Pheri 3) much bigger than it actually is. Akshay did not meet the producer. He showed no interest in returning to Hera Pheri.”
