Filmmaker Priyadarshan says he does not think “Hera Pheri 3” starring Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal and Suniel Shetty will ever be made. Speaking on the project, he describes it as having “too many complications,” and suggests that the issues are substantial enough that the sequel may not reach screens.

Outlets also report that Priyadarshan previously stepped away from related directing work and has indicated he rejected an offer to direct “Bhagam Bhag 2,” without elaborating in detail in the coverage provided. Times of India adds that the uncertainty around “Hera Pheri 3” is linked to multiple obstacles, including Priyadarshan’s distance from the project and disputes involving producer Firoz Nadiadwala, alongside the need for a sufficiently strong narrative. Across sources, the emphasis is on the lack of clarity about the film’s prospects rather than any confirmed production timeline.
