Hera Pheri and its sequel starred Akshay z Kumar, Paresh Rawal, Suniel Shetty, which released in 2000 and 2006, respectively. Part one was reportedly made on a budget of Rs 7.5 cr and earned Rs 17.8 cr, whereas Phir Hera Pheri’s budget stood at Rs 18 cr and collected Rs 69.12 cr at the Box-office. First film was cult and second was hit too.
The latest bollywood news is that Anees said he opted out from the film because it didn’t have a much of a story, let alone the script and didn’t like the idea told by Firoz. He further went on to speak about the movie’s being successful and it needs script to be hit.
“I met the producer Firoz Nadiadwala several times. He didn’t have much of a story let alone a script. Unhone jo mujhe idea bataya woh kuch jammee nahin (the idea he threw at me didn’t jell with me). Maina na keh diya (I said no),” Bollywood Hungama quoted Anees as saying.
Sharing a method to be successful film, he said, “No script no hit. It’s as simple as that. Which is why I am taking so much time over my next screenplay, which will star Shahid Kapoor. I am going to finish writing it by the end of this month. Then there will be an announcement.”
On film being called Hera Pheri 4 & starring of Akshay, he remarked, “After I declined the offer, I now hear the film is going to be directed by someone else (Farhad Samji). Akshay Kumar who was totally opposed to doing the film without a proper script has apparently agreed to come on board. I don’t know how or why. Only he will be able to tell. Speaking for myself, I am not part of that project anymore.”

He also spoke on Firoz owning him money for the last film they did and the existing situation & whether it was one of the reasons to walk out. “Yes, that too.
