Good news for fans of the iconic comedy “Hera Pheri”! Actor Suniel Shetty has officially confirmed that Paresh Rawal is set to reprise his beloved role in the much-anticipated sequel, “Hera Pheri 3.”
The Enduring Appeal of Hera Pheri
The 2000 classic, directed by Priyadarshan, continues to be a pop culture phenomenon. Its witty dialogue and hilarious situations have spawned countless memes that remain wildly popular across social media platforms even today.
Suniel Shetty, who plays Shyam in the films, shared his thoughts on the movie’s lasting impact. He noted how a whole new generation recognizes him more as “Hera Pheri ka Shyam” than by his actual name, highlighting the film’s deep imprint.
Priyadarshan: The Mastermind Behind the Laughter
Shetty also heaped praise on director Priyadarshan, crediting him as a genius in the comedy genre. He revealed that every single joke and line in the original film was penned by Priyadarshan himself.
“We used to improvise a bit but all these famous jokes are written by him,” Shetty stated. He emphasized that Priyadarshan possesses a unique comedic vision, seeing humor where others might not.
Paresh Rawal’s Confirmed Return
The biggest confirmation from Shetty’s recent interview is undoubtedly the return of Paresh Rawal. Rawal’s character, Babu Rao, is a fan favorite, and his potential absence had previously caused a stir among fans.
Shetty expressed his excitement about Rawal rejoining the cast. However, he added a superstitious note, saying, “I will talk on the day of release kyunki nazar lagti hai. Humaari khud ki achi nazar lagjaati hai kabhi kabhi.” This hints at the industry’s cautious approach when discussing big projects.
Earlier this year, reports about Paresh Rawal’s initial exit and subsequent return to the project had made headlines. His confirmed involvement now brings immense relief and anticipation for the sequel.
