Google searches for “nepotism” increased after Kangana Ranaut, amid much controversy, charged that Karan Johar was the “flag-bearer of nepotism” on his show.
Known for his common sense comments, Paresh Rawal has now offered an update on the much-awaited “Hera Pheri 3” as well as his viewpoint on the divisive nepotism debate.
The nepotism controversy in Bollywood, according to Rawal, is “bogus.” He said he would gladly invest in his child if they had the same talent as Alia Bhatt or Ranbir Kapoor.
Even though this point of view is probably going to spark more debate on the matter, Babu Bhaiya isn’t bothered by the controversy.
For Paresh Rawal “nepotism is bogus”
Paresh Rawal stated in an interview with Indian Express that he thinks nepotism is fake and that he would invest all of his money in his son if he were as talented as Alia Bhatt or Ranbir Kapoor. Why shouldn’t I?
Along with updates on his future endeavors, he mentioned the multi-starrer “Welcome To The Jungle” starring Akshay Kumar, which he believes will be a huge hit because of its substantial budget and stellar cast. In reference to “Hera Pheri 3,” Rawal noted that audience tastes and expectations have changed and underlined the need for caution when dealing with such a well-known brand.
When is “Hera Pheri 3” coming?
Paresh Rawal disclosed that “Hera Pheri 3” is slated to start filming in March or April of 2024.
This suggests that it’s unlikely that “Hera Pheri 3” will be released before 2025. Due to Akshay Kumar’s commitments to “Housefull 5” for Diwali in 2024 and “Welcome To The Jungle” for December 20, 2025, there are scheduling conflicts.
Thus, even if “Hera Pheri 3″‘s filming follows Paresh Rawal’s previously stated schedule, the movie is anticipated to hit theaters in the first half of 2025 to find a suitable release window.
