Mumbai: Bollywood’s beloved comedy franchise Hera Pheri might soon reunite its original trio—Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Suniel Shetty—as director Priyadarshan has hinted at his interest in helming the third installment. The buzz intensified on Priyadarshan’s birthday when he responded to Akshay Kumar’s celebratory post with an intriguing update. Akshay, who previously starred in Hera Pheri (2000) under Priyadarshan’s direction, posted a nostalgic message on social media, sharing a candid picture with the filmmaker from the sets of Bhooth Bangla. He wrote, “Happy Birthday, Priyan Sir! What better way to celebrate than by spending the day on a haunted set, surrounded by ghosts... both real and unpaid extras? Thank you for being a mentor, and the only person who can make chaos look like a masterpiece. May your day be filled with fewer retakes. Wishing you a fantastic year ahead!"

In response, Priyadarshan surprised fans by replying, “Thank you so much for your wishes, Akshay Kumar. In return, I would like to give you a gift—I am willing to do Hera Pheri 3. Are you ready, Akshay?” The director also tagged Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal, fueling speculations about the much-anticipated reunion.
