According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, producer Firoz Nadiadwala has locked in two scripts of ‘Hera Pheri 3’. The report added that Firoz and Akshay have opened the channel of communication again but it’s not as simple. Although, he’s done the paperwork with Kartik who’s keen on doing the project. He thinks he can do justice to the franchise. But, the report also suggests that Firoz Nadiadwala has locked two scripts – one with Akshay and one without Akshay. The producer is having meetings with Akshay and Kartik both at regular intervals.
The script with Akshay’s character Raju will take off from where ‘Phir Hera Pheri’ ended. Meanwhile, the other script is about a tale of two Rajus. The director for the franchise is not yet locked but as per reports, Anees Bazmee was approached to direct the film though.
Akshay has a number of projects lined up ahead for next year. There’s ‘Selfiee’ with Emraan Hashmi which will release on Feburary 24. He will also begin shooting for ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’ with Tiger Shroff next year.
