Recently, the long-awaited Hera Pheri sequel finally began production, reuniting the successful acting trinity of Paresh Rawal, Suniel Shetty, and Akshay Kumar. In the middle of this, the most recent news asserts that Sanjay Dutt has now joined the Hera Pheri 4. It was revealed that Farhad Samji would take over as director when Anees Bazmee quit and that a promo had been made. A later source claims that Hera Pheri 3 title will no longer be used to refer to the third installment, which is now known as Hera Pheri 4.
Reports by Bollywood Hungama now claims that Sanjay Dutt has been roped in to play a villainious role in the film. The report cited a source as saying, “Sanjay Dutt has indeed signed the film. It is said that he’ll be playing one of the antagonists in the film. His character is blind and quite quirky. He’s expected to add to the madness quotient of the Hera Pheri series.”
“Sanjay Dutt is superb in comedy roles and the makers felt he’ll be right for this role. Moreover, his casting will add to the brand value. He’s an exciting addition to the Hera Pheri universe and it’ll be interesting for the audiences to see him locking horns with Raju (Akshay Kumar), Shyam (Suniel Shetty), and Baburao Ganpatrao Apte (Paresh Rawal),” the report quoted the source.
Hera Pheri 4 has purportedly signed Arshad Warsi, however the publication was unable to verify this information. Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi were both loved characters in the Munnabhai franchise (Munna Bhai and Circuit), respectively, so some fans were still happy to see them again.
