Fukrey 3 in the pipeline, confirms producer Ritesh Sidhwani

If you are a fan of the Fukrey franchise and have been waiting for the third instalment of the series, good news is here! Producer Ritesh Sidhwani has just confirmed that the work on the next part of the franchise is underway at Excel Entertainment.

“There has been so much love for the franchise, especially for the characters of Chucha and Hunny, so we need to approach it with a lot of responsibility. He (Vipul Vig, writer) will present us a draft for the film very soon and then we need to go ahead,” said Ritesh Sidhwani.


Farhan Akhtar will be on board as co-producer of the film. Talking about him, Sidhwani said, “Even when Farhan is directing, he keeps an open mind in the discussion. This applies to everyone here including Zoya (Akhtar) and Reema (Kagti). It’s a collaborative effort.”

Both Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar are currently enjoying the success of their latest production venture Gully Boy (2019). Starring Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh, the film has performed really well at the box-office.

Their Amazon Prime Video series Made In Heaven has also received warm response from audiences and critics alike.
