But my preconceived notions were shattered within the first few moments of <em>OMG 2.</em> And this is coming from somebody who was only mildly impressed by the first film. The surprise wasn't the film's ability to challenge societal norms and shed light on a topic as crucial as sex education. The surprise to me was how skillful and candid the handling of the said topic was.&nbsp;</p>

<p>To make the need of sex education more digestible for the general audience, I suspect, our protagonist Kanti Sharan Mudgal (Pankaj Tripathi) was not written as an atheist (like Paresh Rawal's Kanjibhai was in the original). I am not a believer in anything divine or supernatural, but I duly appreciate the writer-director Amit Rai's efforts here. Why? Because in a country like India, it was certainly crucial for the character's faith and devotion to be a driving force for change without alienating viewers with differing beliefs. When clothed in the garb of religion, most individuals can be persuaded towards any idea, whether good or bad.</p>

<h2><strong>Is <em>OMG&nbsp;2</em> any good?</strong></h2>

<p>In case it wasn't clear already, yes. <em>OMG 2</em> is a lot of fun. It manages to strike a nice and delicate balance between dealing with a serious issue (sex education) and delivering moments of genuine laughter and heartfelt emotions.</p>

<p>Pankaj Tripathi is reliably excellent, and so is Kumar (this might be a radical idea, but he should do more comedy again), but the film is peppered with a number of outstanding character actors in supporting roles. Pavan Malhotra shines as Judge Purushottam Nagar presiding over the case. Initially sceptical and even unfriendly towards Kanti, he learns to respect the determination of the man. His struggles with Kanti's "shuddh", or pure, Hindi are played for some nice humour as his assistant tries to explain what the man is saying non-verbally.<br />
<br />
Brijendra Kala plays a sex therapist in a rather small role and leaves a significant impact. His character keeps inventive contraptions in his clinic that are built by doing unspeakable things to balloons and are used to explain sexual concepts and even acts to his patients. Having grown accustomed to startling and flustering his visitors with his unabashed honesty, he responds with serene acceptance when in a scene early on in the movie, a man splashes tea on him after being told his wife probably cheated on him.</p>

<p>The humour in the film is all-around superb, actually, and it does not come at the expense of Vivek's dignity or the film's central themes. It does, however, come at the expense of those who would shame a child for natural curiosity about his burgeoning sexuality. It also comes at the expense of the absurdity of societal double standards and the hypocrisy that often accompanies discussions about sex in India.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the course of his research, Kanti discovers that the Hindu religion boasts a rich tradition of embracing openness when it comes to matters of sex and sexuality, with texts even hinting at the presence of sexual education practices in ancient India. It was only when the British colonialists arrived and imposed Victorian morality upon Indians that they become such Puritans related to sex.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It is, of course, an extremely simplistic explanation of Indian prudery. At best, it urges us to improve our outlook. At worst, it encourages the notion that&nbsp;our pristine religious traditions were polluted exclusively by outsiders, which somebody with even a remote knowledge of history would tell you is simply not true.</p>

<p>But if this explanation, however devoid of nuance, effectively nudges viewers to reevaluate their outlook on tradition and modernity, I'd consider it a win. The only egregious crime of the movie, in my opinion, is to take a totally concocted piece of text and falsely attribute it to one Thomas Babington Macaulay like a social media troll. Yes, the same one where the guy is shown explaining how India is so prosperous and arguing to replace the Indian education system with English (or some such).</p>

<p>Those minor concerns aside, <em>OMG 2</em> is a film that for me defied expectations. It is an engaging, thought-provoking, and endlessly funny film. It is also an important film in a society that continues to grapple with essential conversations about education, morality, and tradition.</p>

OMG 2 review: Pankaj Tripathi, Akshay Kumar deliver laughs with a purposeful punch

<p>Currently, there is a showdown happening at the Indian box office between two follow-up films of popular originals, namely <em>Gadar 2 </em>and <em>OMG 2.</em> The victor has emerged quite clearly. <em>Gadar 2, </em>featuring Sunny Deol, achieved an impressive milestone by amassing a notable sum of Rs 38.70 crore on Monday alone, which has propelled its overall earnings to Rs 173.58 crore. Anticipations are high that the movie will capitalise on the Independence Day holiday (celebrated on August 15 every year in India, marking its liberation from British rule) and potentially surpass its initial day's gains. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh reported the film's box office numbers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Anil Sharma directorial brings back Sunny Deol in the role of Tara Singh from 2001's <em>Gadar: Ek Prem Katha.</em> Ameesha Patel also returns as Sakeena, Tara's love interest and now his wife.</p>

<p>Utkarsh Sharma also reprises the role of Charanjeet "Jeete" Singh, the son of Tara and Sakeena. Like the original, this one has also been penned by Shaktimaan Talwar. While the original was set during the Partition of India, which was the cause of immense bloodshed, the sequel is set during the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War, which resulted in the birth of Bangladesh as a nation.</p>

Gadar 2 vs OMG 2: Sunny Deol-starrer steamrolls Akshay Kumar's sequel at box office

<p>For years Akshay Kumar has been questioned about his Canadian citizenship. On India's 77th Independence Day, Akshay Kumar shut his critics as he shared proof of his Indian citizenship. The actor shared a picture of his official government documents on social media.</p>

<p>Akshay took to Twitter to share a document that noted his name as Akshay Hariom Bhatia. He wrote with the tweet, “Dil aur citizenship, dono Hindustani (Heart and citizenship- both are Indian). Happy Independence Day! Jai Hind." His fans congratulated him and wished him on the special day.</p>

Three years later, he shared an update during another Leadership Summit session.<br />

“Having a Canadian passport does not mean I am any less of an Indian. I am very much Indian. I have been here since last nine years when I got the passport.

OMG 2 leaked online! Akshay Kumar, Pankaj Tripathi & Yami Gautam's film hit by piracy bug

<p>A revision committee of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has granted a U/A certificate to Akshay Kumar, Pankaj Tripathi's new film <em>OMG: Oh My God 2</em>. The committee has also ordered 27 cuts in the film which is slated to release in theatres on 11 August. The film also features Yami Gautam.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The producers have now changed the beginning to comply with CBFC guidelines, and it will now be played with a voiceover. Akshay Kumar, who was originally cast as Lord Shiva in the film, will now play the Messenger of God.<br />
<br />
The makers unveiled the trailer of the film on Thursday- just a week ahead of its official release. The film's trailer was not released prior as the Censor Board was going through the film. The move was taken as a precaution after Prabhas, Saif Ali Khan, and Kriti Sanon starrer <em>Adipurush</em> received severe backlash from the audience in June this year.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
According to reports, all frontal nudity visuals have been removed and replaced with appropriate Naga Sadhus visuals in OMG 2. The scene in which Akshay Kumar's character meditates and bathes, which was presumably also shown in teaser, was also replaced. There are also scenes of his character getting drunk, which have now been altered.<br />
<br />
Several dialogues have been altered and all references to alcohol were removed. A dialogue about the High Court was also removed because it was deemed vulgar and defamatory.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The word "rat" was removed from the label of the rat poison bottle. Furthermore, references to Shivling, Shri Bhagavad Gita, Upanishad, Atharvaved, Draupadi, Pandav, Krishna, Gopiyan, and Raasleela were removed from an important dialogue.<br />
<br />
The film, which was originally set in Ujjain, is now set in a different location. The board also requested that all visuals, verbal references, and other references to people in positions of authority, such as Mahant, be removed.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The makers were asked to provide documentary evidence for the facts and statistics mentioned in the film regarding sexual acts. The film has been altered by 13 minutes by the CBFC. The film is now 2 hours and 36 minutes long.<br />

OMG 2 trailer out: Akshay Kumar plays the role of Lord Shiva’s messenger

<p>Akshay Kumar’s upcoming feature <em>OMG 2</em> now has an ‘A' or 'Adults Only’ certificate from the censor board. This comes just days after the film was pushed for review by the Central Board Of Film Certification (CBFC).</p>

<p>Reports suggest that CBFC has suggested “no cuts” but only modifications for the Akshay Kumar starrer. Sources cited in the reports suggest, “after all the discussions, the film has been passed without any cuts. There are some scenes, dialogues and characters which have been modified by the makers after discussion with the censor board members.”</p>

<p>Reportedly, among the 20 cuts that the Indian censor body CBFC has asked for, they want OMG 2’s team to change Akshay Kumar’s character from Lord Shiva to that of his doot (herald).&nbsp;</p>

<p>This could mean that the OMG 2 team will have to change or delete several sequences where Akshay Kumar is shown assuming the Blue skin complexion of Lord Shiva.&nbsp;</p>

Akshay Kumar’s upcoming feature OMG 2 now has an ‘A' or 'Adults Only’ certificate from the censor board. This comes just days after the film was pushed for review by the Central Board Of Film Certification (CBFC). Reports suggest that CBFC has suggested “no cuts” but only modifications for the Akshay Kumar starrer. Sources cited in the reports suggest, “after all the discussions, the film has been passed without any cuts. There are some scenes, dialogues and characters which have been modified by the makers after discussion with the censor board members.” Reportedly, among the 20 cuts that the Indian censor body CBFC has asked for, they want OMG 2’s team to change Akshay Kumar’s character from Lord Shiva to that of his doot (herald). This could mean that the OMG 2 team will have to change or delete several sequences where Akshay Kumar is shown assuming the Blue skin complexion of Lord Shiva.

Akshay Kumar reacts to the viral video of violence against women in Manipur: Disgusted, shaken

<p>India's Central Board of Film Certification is reassessing dialogues and scenes of the upcoming film <em>Oh My God 2 (OMG 2)</em> to avoid <em>Adipurush</em>-like backlash. <em>OMG 2</em> stars Akshay Kumar, Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam in the lead and is a sequel of 2021 film <em>OMG-Oh My God.&nbsp;</em><br />
<br />
As per a report, the board's revising committee seeks to ensure that the dialogues and scenes in OMG 2 ‘do not create any issues’.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While there is no clarity on which dialogues and scenes are being scrutinised, it is believed that CBFC's revision committee is being extra cautious to avoid any kind of controversy around film, especially after the backlash over <em>Adipurush</em>.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Once the film goes to the revision committee, the CBFC will reportedly take a decision on the movie, which is set to be released in theatres on August 11.</p>

<h2><strong><em>Oh My God 2</em> dialogues to be checked by CBFC</strong></h2>

<p>As per sources quoted in a recent report by India Today, “CBFC does not want to repeat the backlash that <em>Adipurush</em> faced over its dialogues” and it will take a decision on <em>OMG 2</em> after the board's revising committee “looks over at the dialogues and scenes in the film”.<br />
<br />
According to sources, CBFC has decided to take "preemptive measures” to avoid any backlash over <em>Oh My God 2 </em>dialogues and scenes.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
“CBFC will send any movie dealing with subjects like God or religion for review and revision," added the source.</p>

<h2><strong>Adipurush controversy</strong></h2>

<p>Om Raut's <em>Adipurush </em>courted several controversies ever since it was released last month. The film stars Prabhas as Raghava, Kriti as Janaki, Sunny Singh as Laxman, and Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh.<br />
<br />
The film faced criticism over its dialogues, costumes, and graphics. Since its release, there have also been sporadic protests against <em>Adipurush</em>, with many raising objections over the depiction of its characters claiming it hurt the sentiments of people, who have grown up watching the Doordarshan show Ramayan.</p>

<p>The makers had to release a revised version of the film and even changed a few questionable dialogues. <em>Adipurush</em> dialogue writer Manoj Muntashir also issued an 'unconditional' apology following the backlash. In his apology note, he admitted that <em>Adipurush</em> had hurt people's sentiments.</p>

<h2><strong>About <em>Oh My God 2</em></strong></h2>

<p><em>OMG 2</em> is directed by Amit Rai, and has Akshay Kumar playing a character inspired by Hindu God Shiva. <em>OMG 2</em> also features Yami Gautam, Pankaj Tripathi and Arun Govil of Ramayan fame. It is set to be released on August 11, and will clash with Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel-starrer <em>Gadar 2</em> at the box office.<br />
<br />
2012's <em>OMG - Oh My God</em>, featured Paresh Rawal in the lead. In the movie, his character files a case against God for the destruction of his shop in an earthquake. <em>OMG</em> had also featured Mithun Chakraborty and Govind Namdev along with Akshay Kumar.</p>

India's Central Board of Film Certification is reassessing dialogues and scenes of the upcoming film Oh My God 2 (OMG 2) to avoid Adipurush-like backlash. OMG 2 stars Akshay Kumar, Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam in the lead and is a sequel of 2021 film OMG-Oh My God. As per a report, the board's revising committee seeks to ensure that the dialogues and scenes in OMG 2 ‘do not create any issues’. While there is no clarity on which dialogues and scenes are being scrutinised, it is believed that CBFC's revision committee is being extra cautious to avoid any kind of controversy around film, especially after the backlash over Adipurush. Once the film goes to the revision committee, the CBFC will reportedly take a decision on the movie, which is set to be released in theatres on August 11. Oh My God 2 dialogues to be checked by CBFC As per sources quoted in a recent report by India Today, “CBFC does not want to repeat the backlash that Adipurush faced over its dialogues” and it will take a decision on OMG 2 after the board's revising committee “looks over at the dialogues and scenes in the film”. According to sources, CBFC has decided to take "preemptive measures” to avoid any backlash over Oh My God 2 dialogues and scenes. “CBFC will send any movie dealing with subjects like God or religion for review and revision," added the source. Adipurush controversy Om Raut's Adipurush courted several controversies ever since it was released last month. The film stars Prabhas as Raghava, Kriti as Janaki, Sunny Singh as Laxman, and Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh. The film faced criticism over its dialogues, costumes, and graphics. Since its release, there have also been sporadic protests against Adipurush, with many raising objections over the depiction of its characters claiming it hurt the sentiments of people, who have grown up watching the Doordarshan show Ramayan. The makers had to release a revised version of the film and even changed a few questionable dialogues. Adipurush dialogue writer Manoj Muntashir also issued an 'unconditional' apology following the backlash. In his apology note, he admitted that Adipurush had hurt people's sentiments. About Oh My God 2 OMG 2 is directed by Amit Rai, and has Akshay Kumar playing a character inspired by Hindu God Shiva. OMG 2 also features Yami Gautam, Pankaj Tripathi and Arun Govil of Ramayan fame. It is set to be released on August 11, and will clash with Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel-starrer Gadar 2 at the box office. 2012's OMG - Oh My God, featured Paresh Rawal in the lead. In the movie, his character files a case against God for the destruction of his shop in an earthquake. OMG had also featured Mithun Chakraborty and Govind Namdev along with Akshay Kumar.

Akshay Kumar's Dragon Eye LED bag takes internet by storm; can you guess its price?

<p>It seems like Akshay Kumar has once again failed to impress the audience. Kumar and Emran Hashmi's latest movie, <em>Selfiee</em>,&nbsp;which was released in theatres on February 24th, has not been able to rake in big numbers.<br />
<br />
The film, starring Nushrratt Bharuccha and Diana Penty, opened with pretty low numbers and has not shown any improvement.<br />
<br />
Taran Adarsh has shared the shocking numbers, and in just the first three days of its release, the movie has raked in Rs 6 crore.<br />
<br />
Adarsh shared the figures: "#Selfiee struggles on Day 2... The big jump, so essential after a disastrous start, is clearly missing. The poor business continues to shock, sadden, and demoralise the industry. Total:&nbsp; 6.35 cr+. #India biz.''<br />
<br />
Not only '<em>Selfiee'</em>,&nbsp;but Kartik Aaryan's <em>Shehzada</em> has not been able to perform well at the theatres. The poor performances of these two star-studded films also hint that Bollywood's lean phase is still not over yet.</p>

<p>Only Shah Rukh Khan's 'Pathaan'&nbsp;is the only film that has raked in money at the theatres. And Khan's stardom is largely responsible for the film's success. SRK's action film has become one of the year's top earners, grossing over Rs 1000 crore worldwide.<br />
<br />
The movie is a remake of the Malayalam comedy-drama <em>Driving Licence</em>,&nbsp;which starred Prithviraj and Suraj Venjaramoodu in the lead roles.<br />
<br />
The Hindi version stars Emraan as a devoted father and an RTO officer who can go to any length to take a selfie with his hero. However, things did not go as planned when they saw the real side of their hero. Directed by Raj Mehta, the film is going to be a rollercoaster ride with lots of drama, action, comedy, and dance.<br />
<br />
The late Aruna Bhatia, Hiroo Yash Johar, Supriya Menon, Karan Johar, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Apoorva Mehta, and Listin Stephen produced the film.</p>

Total: ₹ 6.35 cr+. #India biz. pic.twitter.com/1UDpVMbHsd — taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) February 26, 2023 × Only Shah Rukh Khan's 'Pathaan' is the only film that has raked in money at the theatres. And Khan's stardom is largely responsible for the film's success. SRK's action film has become one of the year's top earners, grossing over Rs 1000 crore worldwide. The movie is a remake of the Malayalam comedy-drama Driving Licence, which starred Prithviraj and Suraj Venjaramoodu in the lead roles. The Hindi version stars Emraan as a devoted father and an RTO officer who can go to any length to take a selfie with his hero. However, things did not go as planned when they saw the real side of their hero. Directed by Raj Mehta, the film is going to be a rollercoaster ride with lots of drama, action, comedy, and dance. The late Aruna Bhatia, Hiroo Yash Johar, Supriya Menon, Karan Johar, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Apoorva Mehta, and Listin Stephen produced the film.

Selfiee box office collection: Akshay Kumar's film is struggling at the box office

<p><strong>Selfiee movie review:</strong> There's a sense of Deja <em>Vu</em> when you start watching Raj Mehta's latest film <em>Selfiee.</em> Starring Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi, this comedic thriller highlights the toxic relationship that actors, fans, and media share in India. <em>Selfiee</em> is familiar not just for those who have watched the original film in Malayalam called Driving License (2022) but also for those who have watched and loved Ayushmann Khurrana, Jaideep Ahlawat starrer <em>An Action Hero </em>which was released a few months back. While Avinash Iyer's film was darker and more twisted, Raj Mehta's Selfie keeps the story simple and comedic -aiming to make it a mass entertainer.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<em>Selfiee</em> pits its lead actors Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi in a battle of wits. One plays an extension of himself while the other represents the fans who make an actor a star. The result is not as effective as it sets out to be despite credible performances from the two actors.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Akshay Kumar plays superstar Vijay Kumar who is in Bhopal, a city in central India to shoot his next film. A crucial sequence in the film requires him to have a valid driving license in order to secure permission for a shoot for the producer. Vijay, of course, doe not have one. The local Road Transport Office (RTO) inspector Om Prakash Aggarwal (Emraan Hashmi) is summoned to expedite the process.<br />
A fan of the star himself, Aggarwal agrees to help with only one condition in place, he wants to click a selfie with his son and the superstar before handing him over the coveted license. It's a five-minute job that Vijay readily agrees to be a part of but things go awry at the last moment which leads to a battle of egos between the two men. And the license is of course nowhere in sight.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Based on the late Malayalam writer Sachi's story with a screenplay by Rishabh Sharma, Selfie starts off on a promising note and showcases Akshay Kumar in all his glory. One can see the efforts the makers have put in to make it a quintessential Akshay Kumar blockbuster. The plot is meta&nbsp;- Kumar&nbsp;is a popular actor who values his well-wishers and fans and does not want to do anything wrong in front of the public eye. It's a role that has Kumar playing himself. On the other hand, Hashmi plays a small-towner inspector who knows he only has limited powers but is happy and content with his job. While on paper, the story holds a lot of promise, it falters in the implementation level.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
A common man's rigidity versus a superstar's clout could have been played out on screen cleverly&nbsp;but writers use the usual tropes of a typical masala entertainer to tell this story. The result is middling. By the time of the climax, the film seems like a stretch with ample melodrama thrown in.&nbsp;</p>

<br />
To be fair, <em>Selfiee </em>is not as bad as Kumar's other recent films. Kumar along with Hasmi and actor Mahesh Thakur deliver an earnest performance that somewhat salvages a very poor script but the writing never fully utilises the potential of a good story, thereby making it look like a half-hearted attempt.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The women in the film- Nusrat Bharucha and Diana Penty- have limited scope and screen time and the songs are just about average.&nbsp;<br />
Perhaps there is fatigue for Akshay Kumar films in general or maybe makers are not walking the extra mile to display Kumar's talent in full glory- whatever the case, <em>Selfiee</em> lacks the elements that make for a typical Akshay Kumar <em>paisa vasool</em> film.&nbsp;</p>

Selfiee movie review: Akshay Kumar-Emraan Hashmi's film is just a few months too late

<p><meta name="uuid" content="uuidPyP3DTKsrXdy" /><meta charset="utf-8" /></p>

<p><strong>Hera Pheri 3:</strong>&nbsp;The iconic trio from Hera Pheri 3 is back, and nobody can keep calm now! Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal flooded the internet as they announced the third sequel of Hera Pheri. Akshay Kumar is finally on board for the movie. A few days ago, the three stars came together to shoot the promo for their upcoming film 'Hera Pheri 3.' The photo from the sets of Hera Pheri 3 has gone viral. It shows the iconic trio as their original characters, Raju, Shyam, and Baburao. Akshay Kumar was in Raju's ensemble from the famous meme, the printed white shirt and pink pants. Paresh Rawal, dressed in Baburao's signature white kurta and dhoti, made Hera Pheri fans nostalgic. Multiple sources have confirmed the image is from the shoots of a promotional video of Hera Pheri 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hera Pheri 3 would be the third sequel of the most loved Indian comedy film, Hera Pheri. The second part of the movie, Phir Hera Pheri, also received love and recognition from the fans. Priyadarshan directed the first part, and Neeraj Vora directed the second part. However, B-town rumour says Priyadarshan or Farhad Samji will be the director of the third part, Hera Pheri 3.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Fans are curious to know all the details about Hera Pheri 3. Here, we have mentioned all the details about Hera Pheri 3, including the entire cast, the expected release date, the director, the producer, and the controversies.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Hera Pheri 3: Full Cast</strong></h2>

<p>While Paresh Rawal and Suniel Shetty repeatedly confirmed their roles as Baburao and Shyam, fans doubted Akshay Kumar's comeback as Raju. 'Who will be in the cast of Hera Pheri 3?' has been the recurring question. However, it's confirmed now. Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Suniel Shetty will be in the cast of Hera Pheri 3. But the full cast list of Hera Pheri 3 is not out yet. Some sources say, Kartik Aryan, Nana Patekar, Abhishek Bachchan, and John Abraham are a part of the cast. But, there has been no confirmation from the production of Hera Pheri 3. Moreover, the female lead's name for Hera Pheri 3 is also not out yet.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Hera Pheri 3: Expected Release Date</strong></h2>

<p>After almost two decades, Hera Pheri remains the most loved Indian Comedy film. People are crazy about the funny storyline, the amusing dialogues, and the unforgettable characters. However, the release date for Hera Pheri 3 is not out. The directors or producers have not hinted towards a release date in 2023. Furthermore, the official shooting of Hera Pheri 3 has not begun yet. Thus, it will probably take some time to make Hera Pheri 3.</p>

<h2><strong>Hera Pheri 3: Director &amp; Producer</strong></h2>

<p>Chances are that Priyadarshan might not direct Hera Pheri 3. Farhad Samji and Raaj Shandliya are the rumoured directors for Hera Pheri 3. However, there has been no official announcement from the production side. Anand Pandit and Firoz Nadiadwala are the producers of Hera Pheri 3.</p>

<h2><strong>Controversies around Hera Pheri 3</strong></h2>

<p>In 2015, Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham were about to replace Akshay Kumar in Hera Pheri 3. Fans were unhappy with the decision, and the creators faced backlash on social media platforms. Later, Abhishek Bachchan said things didn't work out for him in Hera Pheri 3. In 2017, Neeraj Vora, the director of Phir Hera Pheri, passed away.&nbsp;</p>

Hera Pheri 3 Movie: Check Full Cast, Expected Release Date, Director, Budget, Producer & Controversies So Far

<p>The third film in the popular Indian Hindi-language comedy film series <em>Hera Pheri</em> has begun filming, reported Pinkvilla. Earlier Akshay Kumar had said he will not be a part of the threequel due to disagreements over the script. The fans of the series expressed their disappointment. But then, it was reported that he will indeed be coming back to reprise the role of Raju to complete the trio: the other two being Suneil Shetty's Shyam and Paresh Rawal's Baburao Ganpatrao Apte. Producer Firoz Nadiadwala has confirmed the movie's development in June last year. He said, " You’ll get to see it very soon with the same star cast – Akshay ji, Paresh bhai and Suniel ji. The story is in place, and we are working on certain modalities. It’ll be made in the same way, retaining the innocence of the characters. We can’t take past achievements for granted. So, we have to be extra careful in terms of our content, story, screenplay, characters, mannerisms etc.”</p>

<p>Now, a source told Pinkvilla, "The original <em>Hera Pheri </em>gang reunites to take this cult franchise forward. While ample meetings about the script have happened over the last few months, the team is now confident that <em>Hera Pheri 3 </em>will do complete justice to all the hype and anticipation around the part 3 of <em>Hera Pheri</em>. Right from producer, Firoz Nadiadwala to the actors – Akshay, Paresh and Suniel are all excited with positivity to return on the set as Raju, Shyam and Baburao."</p>

<p>The first film, a Priyadarshan directorial, and written by the late Neeraj Vora, is considered one of the best Hindi comedies of all time. The follow-up, titled <em>Phir Hera Pheri</em> and both written and directed by Vora, was comparatively poorly released but was anyway a commercial success. While <em>Hera Pheri</em>&nbsp;was released in 2000, <em>Phir Hera Pheri&nbsp;</em>came out in 2006.</p>

<p>The last scene of<em> Phir Hera Pheri</em>&nbsp;teased things to come. The first film had the aforementioned trio of actors playing roles of a bunch of down-on-luck nobodies who get a chance of acquiring a huge amount of money. But it is not as difficult as it appears. Gangsters are involved. Chaos ensues.</p>

<p>The sequel had them living in a palatial mansion, but their greed causes them to lose it and they become poor again. They once again get themselves involved with criminal elements. <em>Phir Hera Pheri&nbsp;</em>ended on a cliffhanger and fans have been waiting to see it resolved.&nbsp;</p>

The film will follow the story of a superstar and his fan, who has now turned against his idol.

<p>Speaking of the OTT project, he revealed that&nbsp;"it's more on the science fiction" side of things with "a lot of action in it, I can say that".</p>

<p>Kumar further revealed that he's working on a film about sex education, which he feels is an important topic&nbsp;to talk about. "I like doing social films which can make a difference, especially in my country and in anybody's life," he said.</p>

<p>Speaking of the consequences of COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns on&nbsp;Bollywood and Hollywood's theatrical businesses, the actor said that the industry needs to be smarter and work harder to get audiences back into theatres.</p>

<p>"I think we have to try much harder than we used to do earlier, we have to try harder to get them out," Akshay said.</p>

<p>"It's our fault," he added. "We need to know what they want and stop blaming (the audience) for everything because a lot of people have blamed the (audiences) and are saying they don't want to come out, but I think it's our turn to please them and bring them out."</p>

Akshay Kumar reacts to Richa Chadha’s controversial Galwan tweet: Hurts to see this

<p>Undoubtedly, the 'Hera Pheri' franchise is among&nbsp;Akshay Kumar's best work in Bollywood so far. And, fans completely adored how the superstar played the role of Raju in the first two instalments of the franchise. However, sadly, the actor isn't planning to star in the third and final instalment of 'Hera Pheri' and instead of Kumar, Kartik Aaryan will play the titular role.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On Saturday, Kumar confirmed his exit from 'Hera Pheri'&nbsp;franchise and cited creative differences as the reason for not signing the third instalment.&nbsp;He said that the franchise has been a huge part of his life and journey in Bollywood and he is extremely sad&nbsp;about not being able to contribute to the upcoming instalment.</p>

<p>Speaking at HT Leadership Summit, Kumar said, "‘Hera Pheri’ has been a part of me. A lot of people have memories and even I have good memories of it. But I feel sad that we haven’t made the third part for so many years. The film was offered to me but I was not satisfied with the screenplay and the script. I was not happy with it."</p>

<p>"I have to do what people want to see. So I backed out. For me, ‘Hera Pheri’ is a part of life, my journey in a huge way. I’m equally sad about it and that I’m not able to do the third part. But I’m not happy with the way things have shaped up creatively," Kumar added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kumar shared screen space with veteran actors Paresh Rawal and Suniel Shetty in the original 2000 film 'Hera Pheri', which went on to achieve the status of a cult comedy film. In 2006, we got a sequel to the film as 'Phir Hera Pheri', which was equally successful and made great numbers at the BO.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The third part of the franchise has been in the works for quite some time now. Earlier this week, Rawal confirmed that the film will soon go into production with Kartik Aaryan playing the role of Raju.</p>

<p>The reports of Aaryan replacing Kumar in 'Hera Pheri 3'&nbsp;was followed by hashtag #NoRajuNoHeraPheri trending on Twitter. Reacting to the trends, Kumar said while he is overwhelmed by his fans' love and affection, he won’t be featuring in the upcoming film.</p>

<p>"I saw some tweets saying ‘No Raju, no Hera Pheri’. As much as hurt they feel, I’m hurt as well. It’s sad thing but they kept this topic trending on social media and I want to thank them. I realise the length and breadth of my fan following now. They love me so much but I apologise to them that I won’t be doing ‘Hera Pheri’,” he added.</p>

<p>Back in&nbsp;2019 at HT Leadership Summit, Kumar had stated that he would renounce his Canadian passport with an Indian one because of the backlash he had been receiving, following a controversy over his citizenship. When he was quizzed about the status of his Indian passport in the latest edition of HT Summit, the 55-year-old revealed that he has completed the process of renouncing his Canadian citizenship.</p>

<p>"Having a Canadian passport doesn’t mean that I’m less of an Indian. I’m very much Indian…. I applied for it. But then the pandemic happened and everything stopped for 2.5 years. I have got my letter of renouncing and very soon my new passport will come," Kumar said.</p>

Akshay Kumar's 'Ram Setu' has a good opening at the box office despite bad reviews

<p>In Akshay Kumar's universe, everything is possible. An archaeologist can do deep sea diving and operate a submarine without any prior training, can bash up goons mid-air, he can discover a hidden Buddha statue in the middle of an ambush by the Taliban, can decipher manuscripts written during Ravan's rule (yes) - basically play the desi superhero. Filmmaker Abhishek Sharma's 'Ram Setu' has Kumar debunking arguments about Ramayan being fiction and 'scientifically' proving that the famous bridge also known as Adam's bridge was actually made by Lord Ram in order to protect his wife Sita's honour.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At the beginning of the film, we are told it's the year 2007 and Kumar plays Dr Aryan Kulsheshtra- a star archaeologist who does not always play by the rule book. He is an atheist who objects to his wife Gayatri's (Nushrat Bharucha) way of rearing their son with mythological comic books, he knows his job all too well and debunks anything related to religion.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
A private shipping company wants to break the Ram Setu or Adam's bridge to save to nautical miles and fuel. The bridge connects India and Sri Lanka, and Hindus for centuries have believed that it was constructed by Lord Ram when he went to Lanka to rescue his wife Sita from the evil clutches of Ravan. While mythology states that Lord Ram along with a group of monkeys helped in building the bridge, when one thinks of it logically, it is a result of the geological evolution of rocks.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
As Aaryan submits his initial report based on scientific research he also calls Ramayan a work of fiction. Naturally, the conservatives shun him and a suspension order is released soon after. He is then approached by the owner( Nasser) of the shipping company to visit the actual site and submit a detailed report to the government debunking the theory of the bridge being man-made.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
His research leads him to believe that the structure could possibly be man-made and he sets out on a difficult mission to search Ravan's golden Lanka along with environmentalist Dr Sandra (Jacqueline Fernandez). Naturally, the journey is not a bed of roses as goons of the shipping company are out to kill them in order to stub the facts, There is also an impending court verdict and so Aaryan needs to present his argument before the court in a day's time.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Written by Sharma himself, with dialogues by Dr Chandraprakash Dwivedi, 'Ram Setu' tries very hard to give a liberal approach to a very Hindu narrative. So there is mild shading at the Taliban regime, at Afghanistan's deplorable conditions and even a snide comment on how the army controls Pakistan- all facts but still slightly unnecessary to the narrative.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The screenplay is not the best where Kumar's scruffy beard is inconsistent through the scenes, Jacqueline's hairdo is salon-ready as she runs through jungles, dives underwater in search of hidden tunnels and travels on a chopper- but not a strand of hair is out of place.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
It is not a very performance-driven film and Akshay Kumar sleepwalks through his role - it's a familiar role and Kumar almost feels jaded playing Dr Aryan. Fernandez is there only to ask questions, she really doesn't have too many dialogues and Bharucha has limited screen time. There is also actor Satyadev Kancharana as Lankan guide AP who brings in some amount of vibrancy to an otherwise very dull narrative.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The corals, the underwater sequences, the supposed islands, the mid-water labs - all are laughable. The shots of the supposed bridge when Kumar approaches wearing a space suit look like scenes out of a children's show.<br />
