MUMBAI: A well-recognizable comedy franchise in Hindi cinema is Hera Pheri, starring Suniel Shetty. Even during the filming of the Priyadarshan-directed movie, Suniel, Akshay Kumar, and Paresh Rawal were confident about the project's box-office success. The movie failed to take off at the box office right away, even though it has already achieved cult status.
When Suniel Shetty was speaking on the popular TV portal, he thought back to the movie's start and said, “The first two shows of Hera Pheri were flat. Zero. It was a disaster. However, when we were shooting it, we were laughing like crazy. Me, Paresh, and Akshay were confident it was a blockbuster during shooting because the film had such great actors – Paresh Ji, Om Puri Ji. Paresh and Akshay’s timing was unbelievable. The film later picked up after 6 pm. The same case was with Border. Sometimes, the films you believe in the most, get a delayed reaction. They used to call Border a documentary, and now it’s one of the biggest hits of Indian cinema.”
Speaking about working with Priyadarshan, he said, “Priyadarshan had writers like Neeraj Vora. His timing was so good, and working with him felt like going back to school for higher studies. He worked in sync with his art director, cameraman, and writers.”
Suniel also added that the filmmaker would shoot a single scene for ten days to capture it in the perfect light.
Paresh Rawal, Suniel Shetty, and Akshay Kumar are reportedly set to return to their roles in Hera Pheri 3. Fans of the loved Hera Pheri franchise are excited to see what new twists and turns are in store for them with this third sequel, which promises to bring a new twist to the plot.
Last year, Paresh Rawal shared, “Agar ye achhi hoti haina [If it turns out to be good], I always have this example of Munna Bhai MBBS and Lage Raho Munna Bhai. The sequel should be like that, radically different. Take a quantum leap and take your character in a different background, a different world. Take the audience also to a different world. That is how it should be. If it comes out like that, fine. But then, let’s see how it works out”
Paresh went on to discuss his strong bond with Suniel Shetty and Akshay Kumar, his co-stars. He stated, “We respect each other a lot as artists, as human beings, and as friends. They are all secure actors. And we know what we have to do.” Fans are anxiously awaiting the beginning of the movie's shooting.
