In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Shankar addressed the swirling rumors, stating that misleading information was being spread regarding his involvement with Hera Pheri 3. He clarified that comments from a previous interview had been misinterpreted and sensationalized, leading to confusion among fans. Shankar urged the public not to trust such reports, emphasizing that the narrative circulating online does not represent the truth. He remarked, "Some fake news is being spread in my name about a big film. It’s completely false and has almost no truth in it."
Origins of the Rumors
What triggered rumours of Rohan Shankar's exit from Hera Pheri 3?
The speculation regarding Shankar's departure seems to have originated from his comments about the film's progress. He indicated that while discussions had occurred, the project faced legal challenges that hindered its advancement. He also mentioned that if director Priyadarshan remains attached to the film, he might still be involved. These statements were reportedly taken out of context, leading to unfounded rumors about his exit and potential delays.
Legal Complications Surrounding Hera Pheri 3
Meanwhile, Hera Pheri 3 has been entangled in legal issues since its announcement. A South Indian production company, Seven Arts International Limited, has approached the Madras High Court, challenging the rights associated with the franchise. They argue that producer Firoz Nadiadwala was only permitted to create one Hindi remake of the Malayalam film Ramji Rao Speaking, which led to Hera Pheri.
The company claims that the sequel, Phir Hera Pheri, and any plans for a third film exceed those rights. This legal dispute raises significant questions about the future of Hera Pheri 3, adding another layer of uncertainty to the project. Fans are excited about the prospect of seeing Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal reunite with Priyadarshan after nearly a decade.
