Hera Pheri 3 has been facing multiple controversies since the beginning. The project has struggled with casting issues, especially after Paresh Rawal reportedly stepped away. Akshay Kumar and Suneil Shetty have been trying to convince him to return to the film.
Now, the film is also facing a legal challenge over its title. Vijay Kumar, who owns the rights to the original Malayalam film Ramoji Rao Speaking, has claimed ownership over the Hera Pheri title. This has created a new layer of complications.
According to Vijay Kumar, permission was given only for the first Hera Pheri film. He stated that the second part was made and released without his knowledge. With Hera Pheri 3 in development, he has taken the matter to court.
Due to this dispute, the project has been put on hold. Vijay Kumar has alleged that Firoz Nadiadwala has been attempting to use the title without proper authorization. He also claims that legal procedures have not been properly followed.
Vijay Kumar has expressed interest in continuing the franchise under his supervision. He suggested that he could produce Hera Pheri 3 himself. He also mentioned working with Akshay Kumar and the original team on the business side of the project.
Until the legal issues are resolved, the future of Hera Pheri 3 remains uncertain. The film is currently on hold, and fans are waiting to see how the situation develops. The final outcome will depend on court decisions and negotiations between the parties involved.
