The involvement of Tabu would make sense, given her memorable role in the first ‘Hera Pheri’, which became a cult classic. The movie, directed by Priyadarshan, saw Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal in pivotal roles, creating magic with their hilarious performances.

The sequel, ‘Phir Hera Pheri’ (2006), however, was directorial of Neeraj Vora and saw new additions like Bipasha Basu and Rimi Sen alongside the original cast.

While the project has no official confirmation yet, the buzz surrounding it intensified after Akshay’s birthday post. In it, he humorously shared a picture with Priyadarshan from the sets of ‘Bhooth Bangla’, calling him a mentor who turns chaos into comedy gold.

Akshay’s message also included a joke about being surrounded by “ghosts… both real and unpaid extras.”

Priyadarshan responded to Akshay’s post with an exciting hint about ‘Hera Pheri 3’, writing, “Thank you so much for your wishes, Akshay Kumar. In return, I would like to give you a gift — I am willing to do ‘Hera Pheri 3’. Are you ready, Akshay?”

He even tagged Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal, adding fuel to the rumors of the film’s return.
