Hera Pheri 3’s path still uncertain? Priyadarshan says, 'Will direct only if…'

Hera Pheri 3 has been one of the most eagerly awaited projects in Bollywood. After facing several setbacks and uncertainty following veteran actor Paresh Rawal’s sudden exit, the actor’s return to the franchise reignited excitement among fans. The audience has been longing to watch the iconic trio- Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal- step into their beloved roles again. While Paresh Rawal recently gave fans a hopeful update on shooting plans, director Priyadarshan’s remarks suggest that all challenges are not yet resolved.

Priyadarshan Lays Down His Condition

Addressing the long-standing speculation surrounding Hera Pheri 3, Priyadarshan clarified that he would direct the film only if its story could live up to the charm and humour of the original installment.

'Cannot tell if I am doing the third part...'

During an interview with Pinkvilla, Priyadarshan said, “I cannot tell if I am doing the third part, unless and until I can crack a film which has to do justice to the first installment. The first part was born, but the third one shouldn’t let it die. If I am doing the film, I have to make sure that it is tolerable for people who watched the first part.”

He further added, “Unless and until I crack the full film, I will never attempt part three. If a good script doesn’t turn out to my conviction, I will not do the film. I have climbed certain heights in my career from where I don’t want to fall badly.”

Paresh Rawal Confirms Progress

Meanwhile, Paresh Rawal recently revealed fresh details about the film’s progress in an exclusive interview with News18 Showsha. Sharing an update, he said, “It’s a work in progress. We’ll start shooting for the film in February-March next year.”
