The trailer kicks off with Nana Patekar setting the scene with a lavish celebration aboard a luxury yacht, where a billionaire is marking his 100th birthday with a huge party. Things take a twist when he plans to reveal his will. After the billionaire suddenly dies, the spotlight falls on three main characters who become prime suspects. The catch? They've been drugged and can't recall anything about themselves. To crack the case, the story brings in Jackie Shroff and Sanjay Dutt.
This comes after the teaser was released on April 30, marking 15 years since the Housefull series first started. The one-minute teaser gave fans a glimpse of the new setting, a fancy cruise ship, a journey on the sea, and a surprise murder mystery.
Akshay Kumar also reacted to Hera Pheri 3 controversy. He said, ''I've worked with him since the last 30 years. 32 saal see unke saath kaam karte aya hoon. We are very good friends. He is a great actor. I really admire him. I don't think this is a place where I am going to talk about it. Because, whatever has to happen — it is a very serious matter — it is a matter which is going to be handled by the court. I don't think I'm going to speak about it here."
He also reprimanded the journalist for not choosing the correct words to describe Paresh Rawal. 'Using this kind of word for my co-star — like a foolish word — I would not appreciate it," Akshay firmly said.
Earlier, Paresh Rawal's legal team, Anand & Naik, broke silence on his exit from the much-loved Hera Pheri 3. A source close to the production told TOI in March, during the shoot of Bhoot Bangla, Akshay gave Paresh Rawal a paper to sign for Hera Pheri 3 and said the full agreement would come later. But Rawal was unsure because he hadn't seen any script or other details. 'Akshay told him, 'Don't worry, trust me. You'll see it later in the long-form agreement.' Based on his personal rapport with Kumar and acting in good faith, Paresh Rawal signed the term sheet," the source adds. In April, Rawal was asked to shoot a promotional video for Hera Pheri 3 . He once again questioned Akshay about the script, the production plan, and the long-term agreement."
