Mujhe Bhi Dukh Hai Akshay Kumar breaks silence on ‘Hera Pheri 3’.

When I first heard that Akshay Kumar would no longer be appearing in films like Welcome, Awara Pagal Deewana, and Hera Pheri 3, my first thought was, “That’s it. In other words, an epoch has come to an end.

These were the movies we had seen as kids, talked about and laughed about with our friends, and even occasionally quoted because their lines were so applicable to real life.

It was a devastating blow to our emotions to learn that Akshay Kumar, a major draw to the films for us, would not be appearing in the next instalment.

In a recent interview at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit 2022, the actor finally addressed the rumours and reports, saying, “Hera Pheri is a part of me. I, like many others, have many fond memories. It saddens me that there is still no Part 3 after all these years. I’m having a bad day today (I also feel bad about it). But, as I mentioned, we’ll have to disassemble things to figure this out.

He continued, “The film was offered to me, but I wasn’t happy with the script.” There’s no way around giving the audience what they want. This fact alone caused me to decline participation. My progress slowed even further. It’s an important part of my story and the path I’ve chosen. I wish I could participate, but I’m afraid I can’t. However, I am dissatisfied with the outcomes of my creative efforts thus far.

He went on to say, “What I see happening is that things have changed,” referring to movies’ declining box office success. The intended audience is looking for something new. This mess is entirely our fault, not the audience’s. It is our duty to meet their requirements. That is a question that needs to be revisited. It is critical that we clear the slate and begin again.

He understood their anguish, but it appeared that people were more concerned with the fact that he wasn’t a member of the franchise.

After reports surfaced that Akshay’s decision to skip Hera Pheri 3 was motivated by money, the actor felt compelled to address the speculation. Akshay has only addressed these rumours now that they have surfaced.

According to a source close to the actor and the situation, “Firoz is eager to revive the Hera Pheri franchise and wanted to start it as soon as possible.” The success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 has made Kartik a desirable addition to any Akshay Kumar franchise, and the two have recently discussed making Hera Pheri 3.

“During the discussion, Akshay Kumar quoted Rs 90 crores as his fees plus some share of profit as his remuneration for Hera Pheri 3,” the source continued, “whereas Kartik Aaryan was willing to do it for Rs 30 crores.” When Firoz went to present the two possible casting calls to the satellite and digital players, he discovered that working with Kartik Aaryan was providing him with more lucrative returns than working with Akshay. The wage disparity between the two actors was nearly 60 crore Indian rupees. The film was still earning 15 crores less from satellite and digital players for Kartik than it did for Akshay, so this wasn’t a big deal. Firoz was on the verge of saving Rs. 45 crores by having Kartik appear in the film.

According to the same source, “Akshay declined the offer because he believed the franchise would benefit greatly from his presence.” There were several rounds of meetings, but because there was no forward movement in the discussions, they eventually came to a halt. After that, the camel’s back finally gave way. Firoz Nadiadwala agreed to sign a contract with Kartik Aaryan after much deliberation, and the two are currently planning to revive Hera Pheri 3. Kartik, in Firoz’s opinion, is the best choice to play Raju. It’s progressed to the point where the entire script has been rewritten in Kartik’s image.

Akshay has taken matters into his own hands by commenting on the situation, which will no doubt bring some comfort to the throngs of mourning fans who will be disappointed to learn that he will not be appearing in the film.
