Bollywood’s iconic comedy film Hera Pheri is still etched in the hearts of fans, even 25 years after its release. Starring Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Suniel Shetty, the film first hit theatres on March 31, 2000. As the film approaches its 25th anniversary, fans are buzzing with excitement about a possible re-release of the cult classic.
Recently, producer Firoz A. Nadiadwala shared his thoughts on the film’s re-release plans, further fueling anticipation among fans.
Firoz Nadiadwala’s Statement on Re-Release
During a recent interview, Firoz Nadiadwala revealed that the final decision on Hera Pheri’s re-release would not be his alone. Despite officially owning the film, he emphasized that the decision would be made jointly with the film’s lead actors – Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Suniel Shetty.
He expressed confidence that if the movie is re-released in theatres, it will create a massive buzz at the box office once again.
Hera Pheri’s Evergreen Legacy
Hera Pheri remains one of Bollywood’s most loved comedy films, with its iconic dialogues and hilarious scenes still going viral on social media. Producer Firoz Nadiadwala credited the film’s success to late writer Neeraj Vora, who brought life to the script with his witty dialogues.
He highlighted that Neeraj Vora taught the industry that “How a dialogue is delivered matters more than what is said” – a lesson that continues to inspire filmmakers today.
Will Hera Pheri Return to Theatres?
While there’s no official announcement on the re-release date, fans are eagerly hoping to see Baburao, Raju, and Shyam back on the big screen. With Bollywood re-releasing cult classics like Gadar and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Hera Pheri’s return could be a perfect tribute to its timeless comedy.
