Bollywood actor Paresh Rawal confirmed on Friday that the third film in the Hera Pheri franchise, Hera Pheri 3, is on cards and Kartik Aaryan will be a part of the project. An Akshay Kumar fan page on Twitter tagged Paresh asking, “@SirPareshRawal sir, is it true that Kartik Aryan is doing Hera Pheri 3 ??” To the tweet, Paresh replied, “Yes it’s true.”
According to sources, Kartik will be respiring the role of ‘Raju’ which was played by Akshay in the earlier two films. There have been many reports going around about the third instalment but the makers have not confirmed the film or Kartik’s association with it.
The first film in the series, Hera Pheri, was released in 2000. The film which was helmed by Priyadarshan, starred Akshay, Paresh, Suniel Shetty and Tabu in the lead roles. The film was followed by a sequel in 2006 titled, Phir Hera Pheri, which was directed by Neeraj Vora. It featured Akshay, Paresh, Suniel, Bipasha Basu, Rajpal Yadav and Rimi Sen in the lead roles.
On the work front, Karthik was last seen in the 2022 horror comedy film, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. The movie was directed by Anees Bazmee and starred Tabu, Kartik, Kiara Advani, Rajpal Yadav, Amar Upadhyay and Sanjay Mishra.
