Hera Pheri 3 has been mired in controversy ever since its announcement, leaving fans of Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal eagerly waiting but increasingly uncertain about its future.Amid the ongoing legal troubles, writer Rohan Shankar has now shed light on his association with the film and why he is no longer part of it.“I was in talks, and it was supposed to happen, but it didn’t because of legal issues. Hopefully, if Hera Pheri 3 happens and if Priyadarshan sir is there, maybe I will be too,” he told News18.
“Priyan sir works a lot… he doesn’t stop”
When asked to clarify what he meant by “if Priyadarshan sir is there,” Shankar pointed to the filmmaker’s packed schedule.“No, Priyan sir, because he is doing a lot of work, we have just shot Bhooth Bangla and Haiwan, and now he has to do another film. After that, he has to do a film with Mohanlal sir, which is his 100th film… He doesn’t stop. Priyan sir works a lot. Priyan sir and Akshay sir are workaholics,” he said.He further added, “He has to do one film, then write another, then shoot it, so he keeps on going. Now, in that structure, when will Hera Pheri happen and when will all of this be solved?” Shankar admitted that the uncertainty around the legal issues makes it difficult to predict the film’s timeline.“If it’s solved quickly, then Priyan sir will do it. I don’t know what is happening there, but Priyan sir won’t stop amid all of this. He might make five films before Hera Pheri even starts,” he said.
