Priyadarshan Returns as Director

Another big news for the film is the return of the original director, Priyadarshan. He directed the first “Hera Pheri” in 2000. That film is now considered a classic. The second part, “Phir Hera Pheri,” was directed by the late Neeraj Vora.

Now, Priyadarshan is taking the director’s chair again for the third film. This has made the fans even more excited. Many people believe that only Priyadarshan can do justice to the original film’s style and humor.

Priyadarshan himself has been very careful about the film. In a recent interview, he said that he will only direct the film if the script is good. He does not want to make a movie that is not as good as the first one.

He said, “The first part was born, but the third one shouldn’t let it die. If I am doing the film, I have to make sure that it is tolerable for people who watched the first part.” This shows that he is serious about making a good film.

What We Can Expect from “Hera Pheri 3”

Not much is known about the plot of the new film. The first two films were about the three friends getting into funny and chaotic situations while trying to make money. It is expected that the third part will also be about the same thing. The film will have the same kind of comedy that made the first two films so popular.

Paresh Rawal had also talked about a possible spin-off film on his character, Baburao. But he has now said that a spin-off is not in the plans. He believes that his character cannot work without Raju and Shyam. He said, “A film is a collaborative effort. I don’t think Baburao can exist on his own.

You’ll need Shyam and Raju, too.” This shows that the three characters are very important for the film’s success.

The return of the original cast and director has created a lot of hype. The first “Hera Pheri” had a simple story but great comedy. The dialogues from the film are still famous today.

People are hoping that “Hera Pheri 3” will also have the same magic. The film’s success is very important for the makers. They have to live up to the high expectations of the audience.

The film’s shooting is a big step forward. Fans have been waiting for this for a long time. The news of the film’s production beginning next year is a huge relief for them. It shows that the film is finally moving ahead. Everyone is now eagerly waiting for “Hera Pheri 3.”
