Hera Pheri series makers skip part 3, jump to Part 4
The bumbling trio of Akshay Kumar - Suneil Shetty and Paresh Rawal who made the Hera Pheri series memorable shall be yet again seen in their comic avtaars in Hera Pheri 4. Confused? Well, the makers of the hit comic series have decided to skip its Part 3 and directly jump to Part 4.
The sequel will be directed by No Entry maker Anees Bazmee and written by Neeraj Vora who had written the first two parts in the series and directed the second one, Phir Hera Pheri (2006). Bazmee says, "We are trying out something new and wackier this time. It is not a gimmick to skip part 3 but a part of the fun element in part 4. Audiences will get their answers about part 3 in the upcoming sequel. I don't want to reveal anything further."
An official from Feroz Nadiadwala's production house also confirmed us the news about Hera Pheri 4. He said, "Yes we are going to make it and the shooting for it shall begin from 2007 end. Right now we are ready with Fool N Final which releases on June 1 and also busy completing Welcome." But it is not known whether the heroines of part 2, Bipasha Basu and Rimmi Sen will be continued with in the forthcoming sequel. It can be recollected that Tabu who starred in the first part was not repeated in part 2. Phir Hera Pheri actress, Rimmi Sen stated, "I have no clue about the sequel." Bipasha was unavailable for comment.
The reason for the makers jumping to Part 4 instead of making the third installment is their competition with the Munna Bhai series claim industry insiders. It is being said that, "Hera Pheri had achieved cult status amongst Bollywood comedies but Munna Bhai series achieved more critical acclaim and popularity amongst the two. The third film in the Sanjay Dutt - Arshad Warsi starrers has already been announced, titled, Munna Bhai Chale America. The Hera Pheri makes now want to go one up on them and release their part before the next Munna Bhai film comes out. Phir Hera Pheri though a commercial success, wasn't really appreciated in comparison with its predecessor. So now for its next part, the makers are trying to bring back popular characters from Part 1 like that of Kabira (Gulshan Grover) and Khadag Singh (Om Puri) to make it more entertaining. Also as the next Munna Bhai film is going to be completely shot in the US, HP 4 too shall be shot abroad."
