Among the many Bollywood comedy films that can be called cult classics, the ‘Hera Pheri‘ franchise is one of them.
Both ‘Hera Pheri’ and its sequel ‘Phir Hera Pheri’ have been accepted by moviegoers with open arms props to the BOMB script, hilarious dialogues, and the main actors Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal.
Recently, there were rumors that the makers of the movie are all set to come up with the third installment of the franchise ‘Hera Pheri 3‘. Reports also suggest that Akshay Kumar has stepped away from the franchise due to no clarity in the script and that Kartik Aaryan will be seen in it.
Even one of the main protagonists of the movie, Paresh Rawal confirmed that Aryan would be part of ‘Hera Pheri 3’ after a fan tagged him and asked, “Sir, is it true that Kartik Aryan is doing Hera Pheri 3?” Responding to his question, Rawal said, “Yes, it’s true.”
Yes it’s true . https://t.co/JtdI4Yp2nb

Rawal’s tweet made people speculate that Aaryan would be replacing Akshay Kumar in the movie. Even though there hasn’t been any official announcement regarding this update, people thought Aaryan slipping into Kumar’s shoes in the movie would be a bad idea.
Soon ‘no Akshay, no Hera Pheri’ started trending online with people expressing their disappointment.
If Paresh Rawal is A Heart ♥️ of Hera Pheri series then #AkshayKumar is the soul 💜.
Without Akshay #HeraPheri3 will be like a body without soul.

Hera Pheri is one of my favorite childhood film & without Akki🥺💙 i can't even imagine anyone doing the character of Raju,if Hera Pheri 3 is being made then Akki should reprise his role or else shelve this project.

We obviously love Akkie in the movie and he’s surely the soul of it but giving Kartik so much hate is unfair.
It's really unfair that Kartik Aaryan is getting hate for signing Hera Pheri 3. He is an actor and like every normal person in this world he wants to earn money. If he is offered a film that can get him success and help his career then why would he decline it.

Hera pheri 3 is coming without casting Akshay kumar. Fan's are sad but I think story and screen play are more important. See Bhulbhulaiya 2 came out with a new cast and film truned out to be a blockbuster.

Earlier, Producer Firoz Nadiadwala had confirmed that the same cast would star in the third installment of the iconic comedy-drama.
Guys, there’s still some hope. Let’s just wait for the official announcement and wish for the best before shedding your tears over some random rumor. Maybe it’s a 4-actor film? Who knows!
