For years, fans have been eagerly waiting for any news on Hera Pheri 3, the third installment of the iconic comedy franchise. The film is set to bring back the beloved trio of Raju (Akshay Kumar), Shyam (Suniel Shetty), and Baburao Ganpatrao Apte (Paresh Rawal). Now, the man who started it all, legendary director Priyadarshan, has finally broken his silence on the project in an exclusive interview, and his words show just how much he respects the original film.
The director has made it clear that he will not compromise on the quality of the film, and his commitment to the franchise’s legacy is a top priority.
‘It Has To Do Justice To The First Part’
Speaking in a recent interview, Priyadarshan revealed that he has set a very important condition for himself before he agrees to direct Hera Pheri 3. He stated that he will only take on the project if he can find a story that is as good as, or better than, the first film. He explained, “I cannot tell if I am doing the third part, unless and until I can crack a film which has to do justice to the first installment.”
He emotionally added a powerful line that all fans will appreciate: “The first part was born, but the third one shouldn’t let it die.” This shows his deep understanding of what the film means to millions of people.
‘I Don’t Want To Fall Badly’
Priyadarshan also shared that he is not willing to make the film just for the sake of it. He feels a great sense of responsibility and will not move forward until he is completely convinced by the script. “Unless and until I crack the full film, I will never attempt part three. If a good script doesn’t turn out to my conviction, I will not do the film,” he said. The director also admitted that he is at a stage in his career where he cannot risk damaging his reputation with a weak film, stating, “I have climbed certain heights in my career from where I don’t want to fall badly.”
The Legacy of Hera Pheri
The original Hera Pheri, released in 2000, is more than just a film; it’s a cultural phenomenon. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest comedy films ever made in Bollywood. The characters, dialogues, and hilarious situations have achieved a cult status over the years. Following its success, a sequel titled Phir Hera Pheri was also a hit. Priyadarshan’s careful approach shows that he wants to honour this legacy and deliver a film that fans will cherish for years to come.
