Starring Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal in principal roles, Hera Pheri, which hit the marquee on 31st March, 2000, completes two decades of its theatrical release today. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Priyadarshan, the comic-caper has gained cult status over the years.
Actor Suniel Shetty, who played the role of Shyam, took to Instagram and penned a heartfelt note remembering the superhit flick. “20 years and the love keeps pouring in... Memories that will last a lifetime!” he wrote.
Earlier in an interview with a leading publication, when Shetty was asked if the idea of Hera Pheri reboot excites him, he had said, “Of course! Absolutely!”
Adding further, the actor had said that since Babu Bhai, Shyam and Raju can have a problem anytime in their life, whatever age it may be, there can be a reboot.
Talking about his co-stars Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal, Shetty had said, “We have a lot of respect for each other and so I think it works like magic and I am looking forward to it (reboot). It will happen and whenever it does, I know it will happen.”
After the huge success of Hera Pheri, producer A. G. Nadiadwala came up with a sequel Phir Hera Pheri in the year 2006. Featuring the same male cast, the sequel set the box-office on fire too and emerged as one of the highest-grossing films of the year.
After Phir Hera Pheri, the makers wanted to roll out the third instalment of the popular comedy franchise. However, the project could not take off for a variety of reasons. It still remains to be seen if there will ever be Hera Pheri 3.
