Akshay Kumar’s ‘Hera Pheri 3’ stuck!
The report also states that the shooting of the film is likely to begin next year.

Quoting sources in the report, it has been written that if this payment structure had remained in place, Paresh Rawal would have had to wait for about two years for his remaining fees. However, no official statement has been issued yet by the makers or the star cast in this matter.
‘Hera Pheri 3’ has been in trouble before too
This is not the first time the film has come into controversy. Earlier too, many types of news have been coming out regarding the star cast and script. Paresh Rawal had left this film earlier also. However, at that time Sunil Shetty took over the matter by acting as a mediator and he returned. But now again the film is standing at the same point. By the way, a few weeks ago Akshay Kumar had also announced that ‘Hera Pheri 3’ is facing many problems and it is not being made at the moment.
