Indra Kumar confirms directing Hera Pheri 3: It’s an honour to work with Akshay, Suniel and Paresh Rawal

Hera Pheri 3
It has been 18 years since Bollywood got one of its most successful comedies, which went on to become an iconic film too – Hera Pheri. The movie starring Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal as Raju, Shyam and Baburao Ganpatrao Apte respectively, eventually had a sequel as well, titled Phir Hera Pheri. And now, the franchise’s third installment, Hera Pheri 3 is on its way, much to the excitement of the fans.
Director Indra Kumar confirmed with indianexpress.com that he will be helming Hera Pheri 3. The director has comedies like Masti, Grand Masti and Dhamaal in his kitty apart from other blockbusters like Dil, Beta and Ishq. He is currently filming Total Dhamal, starring Madhuri Dixit and Anil Kapoor.
“I will be directing the film, yes. But I can’t divulge much on this right now. However, one thing I would like to tell you is that the story is great, and the subject is very good. I am quite keen to work with the team comprising of Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal ji. It is an honour to work with them, and work on this film, and I’ll give it my best,” Indra Kumar told us.
There was news brewing about a possible film like this ever since Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty indulged in a social media banter after Akshay shared a picture with his “oldest friend and co-star” Suniel, whom he met in Mumbai a few weeks ago. Suniel was quick to give a cheeky reply. “Aye Raaaaajjjuuuu! Always such a pleasure to see you, so happy to be smiling together forever,” he wrote back to Akshay.

While Maverick filmmaker Priyadarshan had directed the first film Hera Pheri which released in 2000, late actor-writer-director Neeraj Vora had helmed the 2006 sequel, Phir Hera Pheri. Both the films were box office successes and the makers had planned to get together the team for yet another film.
There were reports that the third installment will be made on the story Neeraj Vora had written before slipping into coma, but Indra Kumar cleared the air by stating that they are working on a brand new story and script.

“No, we are going to write the story now. We are doing everything from a scratch. We already have an idea, and we’re developing it now. The film should be ready for release by early next year, definitely”, he said.

Emma Thompson: I was always paid less than my male counterparts

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”. She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Bobby Deol was the ‘it boy’ of the 90s but will his comeback still hold that charm?

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol. After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd. The 90s were a much simpler time. Words like nepotism weren’t thrown around before a star kid’s debut and hence, Bobby Deol was proudly known as  Dharmendra ’s younger son. His older brother  Sunny Deol  was already the  dhai -kilo-ka-haath man and here was Bobby, trying to make googly eyes at the ladies. It was expected that with Bobby entering the world of movies, this family would turn into a crackling team. Gupt, one of the rare Hindi films that really holds your attention till the end, was quite a hit...
