Hera Pheri 3
Just yesterday, Abishek Bachchan tweeted out to the twitterverse that he’d begun shooting the squeal to the popular comedy franchise Hera Pheri. The new film will have John Abraham, who has replaced Akshay Kumar, while the likes of Paresh Rawal and Suniel Shetty will return to their original roles. Another fantastic addition to the film is comedic veteran Kader Khan, while Neeraj Vohra comes back to direct as he had done in the first sequel. This will be Abishek and John’s third time on-screen together, and the first two trips were blockbuster hits. We’ll see if third time is a bigger charm.

Interesting fact: both Ranbir and Aishwarya will be sharing the same screen in Karan Johar’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil in the near future.
