When Paresh Rawal had briefly exited Hera Pheri 3, many on the internet felt Pankaj Tripathi would be a good fit for the role. Well, even as everyone’s happy that Rawal has returned to Hera Pheri 3, it looks like the internet was on to something. Filmmaker Priyadarshan is teaming up with Tripathi for another film. With this, the actor-director duo will reunite after Aakrosh (2010), in which Tripathi played a hitman. “It’s been over 15 years,” exclaimed the National Award-winning filmmaker.
In his yet-untitled next, the actor will play a lovable, comic character. He will be joined by two actors, said Priyadarshan, who recently wrapped up the shoot of Haiwaan, starring Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan. “It will be an all-out comedy like Hungama [2003] or Hera Pheri [2000], with Pankaj as the pivotal character. He is one of the finest actors we have today and it will be a pleasure working with him again. I am currently writing the story and once that is finalised, I will approach the other two actors,” he told mid-day.
