The Hera Pheri franchise has gained the status of a cult classic over the years, owing to its massive fans and popularity in meme culture. As fans are eagerly waiting for third instalment of Hera Pheri, filmmaker Priyadarshan has dropped a big update about the film and also talked about the challenges he will have to face while making it.
While talking about the popularity of Hera Pher franchise, Priyadarshan told ETV Bharat, “I was very confident that Hera Pheri would work but I never expected it to become a cult film. It had decent humour and excellent performances. People never believed that Akshay, Suniel and Paresh can pull off a comedy because those days they were doing different kinds of movies. But it surprised them and the success of Hera Pheri was a turning point in their career.”
Sharing the update on Hera Pheri 3, the filmmaker said that he will began writing the movie in 2026. He wrote, “I plan to start work, start writing Hera Pheri 3 sometime next year. It is going to be very challenging to make the third part because there will be too many expectations. People are waiting to see Akshay, Paresh and Suniel again and we always say that it is easy to make people cry, it is easy to scare people but to make them laugh is very difficult and that too without using double entendre dialogues ..you have to make humour so pure and identifiable. Then, humor also changes, and the taste of the society changes. We have to catch up with that. Characters have gotten older and accordingly people should believe…these are important things. I am taking it as a challenge. Let’s see how it works.”
