If one mentions Hera Pheri then one automatically thinks of the hilarious antics of Paresh Rawal, Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty. However, ardent fans may be disappointed to hear that all that is about to change!

Feroz Nadiawala, producer of hits such as Fool N Final and Welcome, discussed the third installment of Hera Pheri with Akshay way back in 2006. But due to the hefty price Akshay was demanding, Feroz was left with no other choice but to sadly change the whole cast of the comedy.

Nadiawala just wasn't able to afford Akshay this time around and so after some quick thinking and reshuffling, the cast re-assignment stands at: Abhishek Bachchan in Akshay's role, Nana Patekar will be taking over for Paresh Rawal, whilst Sanjay Dutt will be stepping into the shoes of Suniel Shetty.

According to Nadiawala, the script that Anees Bazmee (No Entry, Singh Is Kinng) has written for Hera Pheri 3 is very promising and without a doubt should definitely be a winner at the box office.

Now fine actors they may be, but we wonder if the new cast can do justice to the much loved old characters?
