Hera Pheri 3 update

Now that Paresh Rawal is back on the film, Priyadarshan will write the script and commence the production by the end of this year. The movie is scheduled for 2026 release. The filmmaker believes that it would be hard to meet the standards set by the original Hera Pheri. He is still of the belief that Phir Hera Pheri aka Hera Pheri 2 was a bad film, mainly because it was adapted from the Hollywood movie Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
