**Insights from Akshay Kumar**
In a recent podcast with Shubhankhar Mishra, Akshay Kumar shared updates about the film's status, revealing, "Currently, *Hera Pheri 3* is not in production." Shubhankhar was taken aback by this news, to which Akshay responded, "I was surprised too."

He continued, "It’s fine. We proceeded to create *Welcome*. We may need to chant a few mantras to ensure everything aligns. It definitely won’t happen in the next year due to various obstacles. It’s not that we aren’t collaborating; we are all part of *Welcome to the Jungle* together."

"There are certain matters I cannot disclose publicly. Several agreements are causing delays for this project," he added. "It will eventually happen. I just hope we don’t age too much by then!"
