Akshay Kumar turned 55-years-old yesterday on September 9, 2022. The actor received tons of wishes from his colleagues and film fraternity friends. However, Suniel Shetty’s wish stood out and now Akshay has responded to it hinting at the much-awaited Hera Pheri sequel being in the works with the two stars along with Paresh Rawal reprising their roles of Shyam, Raju and Baburao respectively.
Taking to his Instagram Stories, Suniel shared a clip with their various collaborations over the years including Hera Pheri and wrote, "Hey Rajuuuuu! Happy birthday re baba. Have a great one. @akshaykumar have a great one." He had shared the video clip with the same message on Twitter. Akshay replied to him on his Instagram Stories and wrote, “Shyam bhai, thank you for the wishes. Phir thodi hera pheri kar le?" along with a heart and laughing emoji.
Hera Pheri released in 2000 and was directed by Priyadarshan and is counted among the best comedy films of Bollywood. However, producer Firoz Nadiadwala recently credited late writer-director Neeraj Vora as the brain behind the comic caper. He also went on to direct the sequel to the film, Phir Hera Pheri. The third installment is in the works now.
On the other hand, Akshay also shared his first look from his Soorarai Pottru remake and thanked his fans and friends for sending him wishes on his birthday. Sharing a picture from the sets of Suriya’s 2020 Tamil film Soorarai Pottru, Akshay wrote, “"Saal guzarta hai, waqt nikalta hai... what remains constant is the gratitude I feel on every birthday. Thank you always for all your love" with a folded hand and heart emoji. In the picture, Akshay, who is in a uniform can be seen sitting next to a wall that read, "One thing you can't recycle is wasted time." The actor shared the post on both Instagram and Twitter.”
The yet-untitled Soorarai Pottru remake also stars Radhika Madan in the leading role.
