On May 23, film-maker Indra Kumar confirmed that he is roping in Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal from the original cast, for the upcoming Hera Pheri 3. He also hinted that he will be the one directing the film this time as Neeraj Vora, the director of the first film, passed away in December 2017. Indra made the announcement on Twitter.



A source close to Mumbai Mirror also revealed details of the film. He said, "The project was locked last month after the three actors gave their dates. It will be shot in a start-to-finish schedule between December 2018 and February 2019 and will release in the second half of next year."

Not so long ago, Akshay took to Twitter and shared a picture with his Hera Pheri co-star, Suniel. He captioned it, "This is not a throwback but takes me back to so many. As always, was lovely catching up with one of my oldest friend and co-star Suniel today."



Even Suniel replied to the Padman actor, tweeting, "Ayy Raju! Always such a pleasure to see you. So happy to be smiling together forever."



The duo's conversation earlier also rose speculations for the third Hera Pheri installment. While it might have been a really long time, fans would still love to see the hilarious trio return to screens after over a decade.
