Hera Pheri is one of the most loved and successful Bollywood franchises so far and the fans are more than excited to watch the third installment.
The film has been making headlines recently considering that Akshay Kumar has backed off from the movie. Let’s learn more about the cast of the movie.
According to sources, “Both Firoz Nadiadwala and Anand Pandit wanted Varun Dhawan to step into the shoes of Raju, which was initially played by Akshay as he has the conviction of doing comedies like no one else. The two producers also made an offer to David Dhawan to direct the film with Rohit Dhawan as the co-director.”
“While the offer was very tempting, Varun didn’t want to jump into the franchise created by Akshay Kumar. He has tremendous respect for Akshay Kumar and didn’t want to use the not-so-good equation between Akshay and Firoz, to climb the ladder of stardom. Hera Pheri 3 is a sure-shot blockbuster, but Varun stepped out of the film out of respect for Akshay. His father, David Dhawan also felt the same,” the source added.
The makers are still in search of a director for the movie.
