Yes, this rumour that has been doing the rounds for the last few days is not true. Much as some people would like to see it happen, Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar is not doing Firoz Nadiadwala’s Hera Pheri 3 with the new entrant in the much-loved franchise – Kartik Aaryan. And PeepingMoon.com has it from the most authoritative sources that when Akshay says ‘No’ – he means ‘NO!’

Ever since Akshay went public to reveal that he was not doing Hera Pheri 3 there were a host of rumours that Nadiadwala had replaced him with Kartik. And now with those rumours having been proved true, gossipmongers from among the production house, PR agencies, and the film’s star cast have been saying Akshay is in fresh talks with Nadiadwala to return to his iconic role alongside Kartik.

Giving a new twist to the bluff, some even said that in Hera Pheri 3, while Akshay would continue to play his roguish character of Raju, Kartik would be cast as a younger version of Raju. The other characters of Shyam and Baburao would continue to be played by Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal respectively. Meanwhile, lovers of the franchise have started a campaign #NoAkshayNoHeraPheri.
