Hera Pheri 3 Progresses Without Priyadarshan Amid Legal Disputes Over RightsPreviousNext

Producer Firoz Nadiadwala confirmed that Hera Pheri 3 is progressing steadily but clarified that filmmaker Priyadarshan is not directing the film. Priyadarshan also confirmed his non-involvement and expressed doubts about the film's release due to ongoing legal disputes over rights between Nadiadwala and Seven Arts International. The project, originally linked to directors Indra Kumar and Priyadarshan, remains uncertain despite fan anticipation for the return of the original cast.
