Paresh Rawal confirmed his return to Hera Pheri 3 in a podcast with Himanshu Mehta. The actor said, "There's no controversy. I believe that when people love something so much, they have to be extra careful. It is our responsibility towards the audience.
He added, "The audience has given you so much adulation. You can't take things for granted. Mehnat karke unko (film) do [try hard give them]. So, I was of the opinion that sab saath mein aaye, mehnat karein. Aur kuch nahin [Everybody come together and work hard, nothing else]. It is all resolved now."
When the host reconfirmed if Hera Pheri 3 is in the works with the OG cast, Paresh said, "Pehle bhi aane hi waali thi, but it's just that we had to finetune ourselves (laughs). After all, all of them are creative, be it Priyadarshan, Akshay or Suniel. They are friends for many, many, many years."
The Hera Pheri franchise launched in 2000, followed by the sequel Phir Hera Pheri in 2006. The films featured Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal in lead roles.
Directed by Priyadarshan, Hera Pheri 3 is set to wrap by mid-2026, with a likely release in 2027.

Maa Day 4 India Box Office: Kajol starrer adds a mediocre Rs 2.5 crore on first Monday; Crosses Rs 20 crore
Maa, directed by Vishal Furia and starring Kajol, Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta and others, has added Rs 2.50 crore net to its India tally. Clubbed with the Rs 17.50 crore weekend, the 4 day total of the movie stands at Rs 20 crore. This is to be looked at as a good number for a film resting on Kajol 's shoulders, that is competing with bigger films, Sitaare Zameen Par and F1. However, Maa is a film directly linked to an IP as credible as Shaitaan, and in that regard, these numbers are not good enough. The Day Wise India Net Collections Of Maa Are As Under Maa Looks To End Week 1 With Rs 25 Crore Net In India; Will Face Stiff Competition Next Week Maa may see a slight uptick in collections on discount Tuesday and then end its week in the Rs 25 crore net range. Week 2's competition shall be fierce again, with Metro... In Dino and Jurassic World: Rebirth flooding the marketplace. Despite Maa catering to a very different demographic than the other movies, it sure will lose a substantial amount of its top performing screens. The collections of Maa in week 2 will help figure out its theatrical verdict. Internationally, Maa has barely managed USD 450-500k so far and a lifetime total of USD 1 million will be a luxury given the stiff competition right in front of it. Maa Is A Pricey Film, But The Costs Are Managed Maa is a pricey film. The film's budget shall still be recovered easily because the non-theatrical rights of the movie have been sold at premium prices, since it is linked to the world of Shaitaan. The global theatrical share of over Rs 15 crore should add to its revenues and ensure it is safe monetarily, even in the worst case scenario.
