Overview
- Seven Arts International has petitioned the Madras High Court, which questioned producer Firoz Nadiadwala about whether Hera Pheri 3 is being made.
- The company claims Nadiadwala was authorised only for a single Hindi remake of Ramji Rao Speaking, released as Hera Pheri in 2000.
- Seven Arts alleges the 2006 sequel Phir Hera Pheri lacked authorisation and that Nadiadwala later sold Hera Pheri 3 rights without holding them.
- Akshay Kumar’s Cape of Good Films says it bought the third film’s rights from Nadiadwala in good faith, believing he owned them.
- Director Priyadarshan says he was unaware of the legal move, and the film’s production now faces uncertainty pending the court’s decision.
