Is The Fate Of Welcome To The Jungle similar To Hera Pheri 3?
Hera Pheri 3 and Welcome 3 face repeated delays due to financial issues, cast exits, and behind-the-scenes troubles.
It all started in 2015, when Firoz Nadiadwala announced the third instalment of Hera Pheri. Firoz and Akshay had a great working association, and the success of the two previous instalments was solid proof of this. After Firoz had a showdown with ace director Priyadarshan, who helmed the first Hera Pheri, Firoz got Neeraj Vora on board to direct Phir Hera Pheri which released in 2006.
After the sudden demise of Neeraj Vora, Firoz decided to hand over the project to Indra Kumar in 2015, who is known for chalking out comedies very well on the silver screen. John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan were roped in to play the counterparts with Akshay.
Actress Neha Sharma was also roped in to play one of the love interests. The stills from the sets were leaked but unfortunately, the film got shelved due to budget constraints. It was learnt that the third part was shot for about 80%.
Post this fiasco, Hera Pheri 3 was revived again with the original cast but soon after the project went through another major obstacle when Paresh Rawal left the film and returned the signing amount.
Meanwhile, Firoz announced his big-budget multi-starrer film Welcome To The Jungle (Welcome 3) which too faces delays due to financial crunch. Actor Sanjay Dutt also exited the project citing numerous delays and script changes.
Seems like Firoz Nadiadwala is jinxed to his multi-starrer films. There were reports that the film isn't delayed due to a lack of financial aid but due to the Pahalgam attacks but there has been no official confirmation from the producer. First Hera Pheri and now Welcome To The Jungle. Will the fates of both films cross paths with each other?
