Hera Pheri 3 shooting to begin in Dubai next week

Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham, Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal will head to the UAE to shoot the third instalment of cult comedy Hera Pheri. The third instalment of popular franchise ‘Hera Pheri’ will be taking to Dubai next week for the film’s first schedule.  Hera Pheri 3 will be directed by Neeraj Vora  and producer Firoz Nadiadwala.

John and Abhishek go by the name of Raju in this film. Paresh Rawal and Suniel Shetty will return as Baburao Ganpatrao Apte and Shyam respectively.

Hera Pheri released in 2000 and is remembered as one of the funniest films of all time. The sequel of the film Phir Hera Pheri did good business as well, though it did not match up to the cult status of the first one.

“The story is set in the UAE, like Welcome Back,” producer Firoz Nadiadwala explained. “This film will present the country in a much glamorised manner. We have shortlisted many locations in the last few months. 85 per cent of film will be shot in Dubai and Abu Dhabi and a little portion in Mumbai. We plan to start rolling in the month of March and release it hopefully by the end of the year. We are going to finish the film in maximum two or three schedules.”
