Hera Pheri 3 has been mired in controversy since its announcement, leaving fans disappointed Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal eagerly waiting but more and more sure of his future.Amid ongoing legal issues, writer Rohan Shankar has now clarified his association with the film and why he is no longer a part of it.“I was in talks, and it was supposed to happen, but it didn’t happen because of legal issues. Hopefully, if Hera Pheri 3 happens and Priyadarshan sir is there, maybe I will be too,” he told News18.
“Mr. Priyan works hard… he doesn’t stop”
When asked to clarify what he meant by “if Priyadarshan sir is there”, Shankar pointed to the filmmaker’s busy schedule.“No, Priyan sir, because he is doing a lot of work, we just shot Bhooth Bangla and Haiwan, and now he has to do another film. After that, he has to do a film. Mohanlal sir it’s his 100th film… He doesn’t stop. Mr. Priyan works a lot. Mr. Priyan and Mr. Akshay are hardworking,” he said.He further added, “He has to make one film, then write another, then shoot, and so it goes on. Now, in that structure, when is Hera Pheri going to happen and when is this all going to be resolved?” Shankar admitted that the uncertainty surrounding the legal issues makes it difficult to predict the film’s timeline.“If it is resolved quickly, then Priyan sir will do it. I don’t know what is going on there, but Priyan sir will not stop in the middle of all this. He may do five films before starting Hera Pheri,” he said.
