The much-awaited "Hera Pheri 3" is set to hit the screens in 2024. Recently, the film's three leading actors reunited to film the trailer, and a behind-the-scenes photo featuring the iconic characters Raju, Shyam, and Baburao has gone viral. This third installment in the beloved Indian comedy series follows the success of "Phir Hera Pheri," which was warmly received by audiences.

Despite over two decades since its debut, "Hera Pheri" remains a cherished classic in Indian comedy, thanks to its clever storyline, humorous dialogues, and memorable characters. While excitement for "Hera Pheri 3" is high, the filmmakers have yet to announce an official release date, and production has not commenced.

Storyline of Hera Pheri 3

In "Hera Pheri 3," Raju grapples with personal issues, including his aspirations and the nature of his work, which often impacts his relationships. He faces significant resistance due to his lack of proper job training. Meanwhile, Shyam negotiates a deal with Baburao for liquor and reserves a room at Baburao's storage facility. In contrast, Raju has rented a similar property but has failed to pay rent for over two years.

To persuade Baburao, affectionately known as Babu Bhaiya, Raju instigates Shyam and intentionally creates chaos, leading to a series of bizarre situations. Following one such disagreement, Anuradha advises Shyam to obtain a necessary Non-Objection Certificate to work at the bank.
