“To the best of my knowledge, Hera Pheri 3 will never hit the screen due to lots of legal issues and personal conflicts. Whether I am involved or not is unimportant.”

What Firoz Nadiadwala has said?
In a separate interview, Firoz said that Priyadarshan is not a part of the third installment.
Hera Pheri 3 controversy
The movie, set to reunite the iconic trio of Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Suniel Shetty, has mostly been in the headlines for its controversies. After Paresh Rawal’s exit and subsequent return, the movie found itself in legal trouble after production house Seven Arts International approached the Madras High Court over the rights to Hera Pheri, a remake of the 1989 Malayalam movie Ramji Rao Speaking. The company has filed a case against producer Firoz Nadiadwala, claiming he was only permitted to make one Hindi version of the original.
While speaking to Pinkvilla, Vijay Kumar opened his company has "complete and clear" ownership of the franchise. "This man [Firoz Nadiadwala] did the second instalment without permission," he said. “After the second film, he also announced a third one. That’s when we became aware of the situation and wrote to him, but he kept avoiding us.”
