Sanjay Dutt Confirms Hera Pheri 3 Role, Says 'Great to Be Together With Akshay, Suniel, Paresh'

The makers of Hera Pheri are finally getting ready for its third installment. Apart from Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal reprising their characters, the makers have gotten a new addition to the cast. According to a report by Pinkvilla, Sanjay Dutt will play a key role in the film. The actor will essay the role of Ravi Kishan’s distant brother, who is a gangster. Ravi Kishan played the role of Gangster Chhote in Phir Hera Pheri.

In a recent press conference, Sanjay Dutt shared, “Yes, I am doing the film. It will be exciting to shoot with the whole team. It’s a great franchise, and I’m so happy to be a part of it. Firoz aur mera rishta bhi bahut purana hai (I have a close relationship with producer Firoz Nadiadwala), and it’s great to be together with Akshay (Kumar), Suniel anna (Shetty), and Paresh (Rawal).”

Previously, it was revealed that Kartik Aaryan was set to join the cast. However, it was revealed that the actor was no longer a part of the project. Paresh later revealed in an interview that Kartik and Akshay were supposed to co-star in the film. Revealing to Mid-Day, the actor said, “As far as I know, initially, both Kartik and Akshay were to do the film, but it didn’t work out. I don’t know what happened.” Meanwhile, Paresh revealed that the team has shot a teaser and that filming will begin in a few months.

With Hera Pheri and Hera Pheri 2, Akshay Kumar as Raju, Suniel Shetty as Shyam, and Paresh Rawal as Baburao left audiences in splits. They are also among the most famous characters in Indian cinema, and in the past 17 years, Hera Pheri has gained cult status with viewers. Fans are ecstatic to see this magical comedy-drama return to theatres.

As per reports, Hera Pheri 3 will open with the closing scene of the same plot. The story for the upcoming film will then take a turn, transporting the three characters to an international world of guns and mafia. The story of Hera Pheri 3 was reportedly written by the late writer Neeraj Vora, who was a key contributor to the Hera Pheri franchises. His plot has been updated to reflect the current situation.
