Firoz Nadiadwala has finalized two scripts for Hera Pheri 3: one for Akshay Kumar and one for Kartik Aaryan

Firoz Nadiadwala has put all of his creative energy into the scripting process in the battle to win Hera Pheri 3. Well-informed sources claim that the producer has already sealed not one but two scripts for Hera Pheri 3 and is almost ready to lock the movie's cast. A reliable source says, ‘Firoz wants to make the picture; that's confirmed.’

At the casting level, nevertheless, he is incredibly under pressure.

Although Firoz and Akshay have reopened the lines of communication, things are not as straightforward as what has been reported in the media. Kartik and Firoz have completed the paperwork, and the young sensation is eager to star in Hera Pheri. With his youthful enthusiasm, he believes he can live up to the franchise's legacy and advance it, much like Bhool Bhulaiyaa did," the insider said.

However, the online buzz is so intense that it has caused Firoz to reconsider Hera Pheri without Akshay Kumar. ‘Currently, he is locked into two scripts—one with Akshay and one without. The discussions with Akshay are ongoing, and the problems are being resolved, but the genuine Hera Pheri 3 cast won't be revealed until everything is in writing. The encounters between Akshay and Firoz take place regularly. He is also meeting Kartik and his management team, ‘says the source.

While the storyline for Akshay picks up where Phir Hera Pheri left off, the script for Kartik is about the story of two Rajus, similar to what was cracked earlier this decade when Hera Pheri 3 was created with John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan. The directors are still up in the air, but everything will go forward once the final cast is determined.
