Mumbai. Bollywood's highly anticipated film "Hera Pheri 3" has been surrounded by discussion and controversy for a long time. Fans eagerly awaiting the return of the trio of Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty, and Paresh Rawal on the big screen have now begun to discuss the film's director. Director Ahmed Khan recently commented on the project's potential.

Speaks of being part of the "Hera Pheri" family

Speaking with Hindustan Times about speculation about directing "Hera Pheri 3" after "Welcome to the Jungle," Ahmed Khan said it's a film every filmmaker wants the opportunity to direct. He said that Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty, Paresh Rawal, and producer Firoz Nadiadwala are like family to him. He believes that whenever this film is made, he will definitely be a part of it in some capacity, whether as a director or in some other role.

Heaping praise on the timing of the three actors

Ahmed Khan revealed that he began his career working with Akshay Kumar and Sunil Shetty. According to him, when these three actors appear in his films, he sees them not as the characters of 'Raju', 'Shyam', and 'Baburao', but as characters in his film. He said that the comic timing of all three actors is still as brilliant as ever, and as a director, he often has to control that energy.

Film Stalled Due to Numerous Controversies

Since the announcement of 'Hera Pheri 3', the film has been in the headlines for several reasons. First, reports surfaced of disagreements over the film's script. Then, reports emerged that Paresh Rawal had left the film midway. Meanwhile, there were also reports that Akshay Kumar's production house had sent a legal notice of ₹25 crore to Paresh Rawal. Later, reports emerged of Paresh Rawal's return to the film, but shooting has yet to resume.

Paresh Rawal spoke out on the controversy

In an interview, Paresh Rawal, reacting to the controversy, stated that he was embroiled in a dispute between Akshay Kumar and producer Firoz Nadiadwala over rights. According to him, one party claimed to own the rights to the film, while the other also claimed the same. He clarified that there was no personal dispute between him and Akshay Kumar.

Paresh Rawal also stated that the legal notice sent to him was likely the result of an emotional reaction. He believed that Akshay Kumar may have been hurt by his refusal to do the film, which is why he took this emotional step.

Fans still await the return of 'Raju-Shyam-Baburao'

The trio of Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty, and Paresh Rawal is considered one of the most popular comic pairs in Hindi cinema. This is why audiences continue to be excited about 'Hera Pheri 3'. Although no official announcement has been made regarding the film's progress, fans are hopeful that this highly anticipated project will move forward soon.
