Hera Pheri 3 shoot begins! Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal's FIRST photo goes viral

Bollywood actors Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal have started shooting for Hera Pheri 3 at Firoz Nadiadwala's Empire Studio in Mumbai, reports have said. The first picture from the shoot of the film's announcement promo has surfaced on social media.

In the now-viral picture, Akshay is seen in his iconic look as Raju. The actor is seen wearing a white and red shirt with red pants. On the other hand, veteran actor Paresh Rawal is seen in his popular look as Baburao Ganpat Rao Apte. He is seen wearing a white dhoti and a matching kurta.

Suniel Shetty is seen in a shirt, jeans, and slippers. He played the role of Shyam in the first two parts of the films. The trio is all smiles as they pose with other people on the sets of the film. Reports stated that the script of Hera Pheri 3 is still being worked on and the shoot for the film will begin in October 2023.

A few months back, it was reported that Akshay had left the franchise after the film's producer and he could not reach a common ground. Following Akshay's exit, Kartik Aaryan was brought into the film - a development which was confirmed by Paresh Rawal on Twitter.

Directed by Priyadarshan, 'Hera Pheri' was released in 2000. It featured Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, and Tabu in the lead roles. The second part, which came out in 2006, was directed by the late Neeraj Vora. It featured Akshay, Paresh Rawal, Suniel Shetty, Bipasha Basu, Rajpal Yadav, and Rimi Sen in the lead roles.
