In the past week, a lot has happened in relation to the eagerly anticipated movie Hera Pheri 3. Kartik Aaryan has been cast in Hera Pheri 3, Paresh Rawal suddenly revealed to a fan on Friday, November 11. Since the actor from Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022) filled the former’s shoes, it infuriated Akshay Kumar fans. The following day, on November 12, Bollywood Hungama published a thorough piece in which we told our readers that producer Firoz Nadiadwala was forced to sign Kartik Aaryan since Akshay had demanded a hefty fee of Rs. 90 crores plus a portion of the profits. Kartik, on the other hand, was prepared to join for Rs. 30 crores.
Bollywood Hungama has just discovered a new development. According to a source who spoke to Bollywood Hungama, “Akshay Kumar was upset that he couldn’t participate in the upcoming Hera Pheri instalment because the franchise has a special place in his career. Firoz Nadiadwala, though, was simply being pragmatic. Akshay resisted lowering his asking price. It’s unfair that only Akshay makes money while the producer loses money, thus this can’t be a one-way path. And after the pandemic, one is forced to accept a lower salary.
The insider continued, “Akshay refused to listen when Firoz tried to explain this to him. Kartik Aaryan was brought on board for Hera Pheri 3 by Firoz Nadiadwala because he had no other option. Akshay Kumar came to the conclusion that Firoz really meant business at this point.
Firoz Nadiadwala had intentions to produce Welcome 3 and Awara Paagal Deewana 2 even after this episode. According to the source, Firoz made it known to Akshay Kumar that he was the first pick for both of these incredibly thrilling sequels. He hoped that he and Akshay could collaborate on the advertising so that everyone would profit.
However, things changed. According to the source, “Firoz was unhappy and hurt after Akshay Kumar publicly announced that he was leaving Hera Pheri 3 due to script issues. He has now made the decision to move through with Welcome 3 and Awara Paagal Deewana 2 without Akshay. Hera Pheri 3 would currently be given first attention, nonetheless.
