Kartik Aaryan is having a great year. He replaced Akshay Kumar in Bhool Bhulaiya 2, with a huge success. Now he is also going to replace Akshay in Hera Pheri 3 as well.

In addition to “Aashiqui 3,” Kartik Aryan will also appear in the third installment of the popular comedy series “Hera Pheri.”

Veteran actor Paresh Rawal, who plays the lead role in “Hera Pheri,” confirmed Kartik’s recent casting on Twitter on Friday.

“@Sir PareshRawal sir, is it true that Kartik Aaryan is doing Hera Pheri 3?,” a fan tweeted, tagging Paresh Rawal. Paresh responded by tweeting, “Yes, it’s true.”

According to rumors, Akshay Kumar has left the Hera Pheri franchise as he was asking for a big amount. But some are saying that Akshay left it as he feels that storyline is unclear.

Following Paresh Rawal’s tweet, KRK updated his fans on “Hera Pheri 3” with a little more information. He claims that the third installment’s director will be Anees Bazmee, as requested by producer Feroz Nadiadwala.

“Because @Sir Paresh Rawal shared the secret, allow me to share the whole story!

#HeraPheri3 has been signed by @The Aaryan Kartik. Additionally, Paresh and @SunielVShetty will do their parts. #FerozNadiadwala, the producer, has invited @BazmeeAnees to serve as director “Tweeted KRK

In 2000, Priyadarshan’s film “Hera Pheri” was released. Its principal actors included Tabu, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, and Akshay Kumar. 

Neeraj Vora, who passed away in 2006, was the director of the second installment. The film’s principal actors included Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, Suniel Shetty, Bipasha Basu, Rajpal Yadav, and Rimi Sen.

Abhishek had already been cast to play one of the lead roles in “Hera Pheri 3.” He eventually left the project, nevertheless, for a variety of reasons. We are currently awaiting official word from Kartik and the creators of “Hera Pheri 3.”

According to rumors, producer Firoz Nadiadwala visited actor Akshay Kumar’s office several times over the past two weeks to talk about the prospect of restarting three comedy franchises: Hera Pheri, Welcome, and Awara Pagal Deewana. 

According to sources, discussions stalled because Akshay Kumar was unconvinced by the caliber and concept of the sequel projects.
