When Paresh Rawal revealed that Akshay Kumar was no longer a part of Hara Pheri 3, a brand-new sequel to the cult series, it was a major disappointment for fans. Additionally, it was said that Kartik Aaryan had switched over and joined the cast. Following this, Suniel Shetty made a statement saying that Hera Pheri would not be complete without Raju (Akshay Kumar) and that he would try to reach an agreement with Firoz Nadiadwala. However, according to recent allegations from an entertainment website, Nadiadwala is upset over Akshay Kumar’s claim that he decided not to participate in the movie because of the weak script. According to reports, the producer has made the decision to move through with Welcome 3 and Awara Paagal Deewana 2 sans Khiladi Kumar.
In an effort to convince Akshay Kumar to drop his alleged asking price of Rs 90 crore, Firoz Nadiadwala reportedly tried his best, but the actor was unable to bend. The Ajnabee actor didn’t believe Feroz was serious until he had signed Kartik Aaryan.
The insider stated, “Akshay Kumar was upset over missing out on the opportunity to participate in Hera Pheri’s upcoming instalment because the series has a special place in his career. Firoz Nadiadwala, though, was simply being pragmatic. Akshay resisted lowering his asking price. It’s unfair that only Akshay makes money while the producer loses money, thus this can’t be a one-way path. And after the pandemic, one is forced to accept a lower salary. Firoz attempted to convince Akshay of this, but he resisted. Kartik Aaryan was brought on board for Hera Pheri 3 by Firoz Nadiadwala because he had no other option. Akshay Kumar came to the conclusion that Firoz really meant business at this point.
Released in 2000, the first Hera Pheri was a huge commercial success. Because of the memorable dialogue and characters, viewers still recall the movie. Phir Hera Pheri, the 2006 sequel, managed to capture the enchantment of the original. The third movie has been anticipated by fans for the last ten years.
