MUMBAI: Who can forget the unique combo of Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal on Priyadarshan‘s Hera Pheri. Not only was the film a super hit, but the combo was well appreciated so much so that they were repeated in the film‘s second version Phir Hera Pheri, Venus‘ De Dana Dhan and Vikram Bhatt‘s Awara Pagal Deewana.

The latest is that if things go according to plans, they will be back with the third installment of Hera Pheri. As per industry sources work is in progress for Hera Pheri 3 and also the dates of Akshay and Paresh are already in place.

A lot of anxious enthusiasts had been anxiously awaiting Sajid Nadiadwala to announce the third installment for a long time. Now, the filmmaker is all geared to make the third part as big as or bigger than the original film. The second installment was not as big as the original. It is said that Akshay and Rawal have already given their dates and soon Sunil Shetty too is expected to be on board.

The film is expected to go on the floors post August, 2014. Given that there is still time left, finalization of the rest of the cast is expected to go an at snail‘s pace. But one thing is clear that the female leads would be quite different than that of the first two installments.
