Is Akshay Kumar yet to sign Hera Pheri 3 on the dotted line?

Amid the endless flood of sequels in Bollywood, Hera Pheri 3 is also one of the hotly awaited sequels. The project has been in talks for years now but still, there is no surety as to when it will mount the shooting floor.

A couple of weeks ago, director Indra Kumar did confirm that the third instalment of the franchise would begin production by the end of the year, but he did not say anything about the cast of the movie.


While fans believe that the trio of Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal will return to tickle their funny bones once again, some media reports suggest that Hera Pheri 3 does not feature on the list of Kumar’s forthcoming projects.

“Akshay will be seen in Kesari, Housefull 4, the multi-starrer Mission Mangal, Good News and Rohit Shetty’s Sooryavanshi, and one film that is being co-produced by Shabina Khan and Tusshar Kapoor. He is also planning his digital debut. But Hera Pheri (3) doesn’t feature on the list of his confirmed assignments,” a source revealed.

Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar is busy promoting his upcoming release Kesari. Produced by Karan Johar under Dharma Productions, the movie arrives in cinemas on 21st March, 2019.

Theatre roots shaped Priyanshu Painyuli’s approach to performance

Before being seen in projects such as Bhavesh Joshi Superhero, Mirzapur and Extraction, Priyanshu Painyuli says his creative grounding came from theatre. He explains that his early years were shaped by stage performances, where acting first became a serious pursuit.

Alongside theatre, he developed a growing curiosity about how films were made. This led him to study filmmaking at SAE (School of Audio Engineering), where he began understanding cinema beyond performance alone. For him, acting and filmmaking developed in parallel rather than as separate phases.
