AI: "Hera Pheri 3 is currently delayed and will not go into production in 2026 due to severe legal disputes over franchise rights, confirms director Priyadarshan. While the iconic trio—Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Suniel Shetty—are set to return, ownership claims by Seven Arts International against producer Firoz Nadiadwala have stalled progress.

Key details regarding the Hera Pheri 3 situation:

• Production Status: The film is on hold and will not go on floors this year (2026).
• Legal Troubles: Seven Arts International has approached the Madras High Court, alleging that producer Firoz Nadiadwala does not own the rights to the franchise.
• Cast: The original trio—Akshay Kumar (Raju), Paresh Rawal (Baburao), and Suniel Shetty (Shyam)—are officially attached to the project, with Rawal returning after a brief departure.
• Director: Priyadarshan, who directed the original Hera Pheri (2000), is slated to direct this installment.

The dispute centers on claims that Nadiadwala was only authorized to produce the first film, Hera Pheri, and not subsequent sequel"
