Producer Feroz Nadiadwala waited for four years for Akshay Kumar to return to the third instalment of Hera Pheri before they parted ways because of the price factor.

"I first started discussing the third Hera Pheri movie with Akshay in 2006. I never wanted to make it without him. It's sad that we couldn't come to an agreement. Akshay is like a brother. But I can't afford him. I hope we work together again very soon," said Feroz.
