Apart from money, there will be no joy for me, Paresh Rawal on doing a sequel to Hera Pheri
Fans of Hera Pheri and Paresh Rawal continue to hope for a new sequel, but the cult comedy franchise has yet to receive one. Now, Paresh has revealed what is required to bring him on board if a sequel is planned. The actor played the bespectacled Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, also known as Babu Bhaiya in Hera Pheri 1 and 2.
The cast of Paresh Rawal, Akshay Kumar, and Suniel Shetty was well received by the audience. Priyadarshan’s original 2000 film was followed by Phir Hera Pheri in 2006, but a third installment has yet to be released.
When asked about his desire for a sequel to Hera Pheri, Paresh told ETimes, “If you ask me honestly, there is no excitement left in me for any of my characters unless it is put into a different backdrop.”
Using Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. as an example of a sequel, he added, “If I have to do the same thing again, usi prakar ki dhoti pehenke, chashme lagake chalna hai (if I have to wear a similar dhoti and walk in the same way with glasses)… except for money, of course, I will charge a bomb! So apart from money, there will be no joy for me. So the story has to be good. If we are coming up with a sequel of Hera Pheri after so many years, with the same old ghisa-pita jokes, it will not work. It should evolve and only then I will be excited about it. Otherwise, wahi chabaya hua niwala firse chabana hai, it will not give that excitement to me.”
Paresh was most recently seen in Sharmaji Namkeen. He will now appear in Shehzada, a film starring Kartik Aaryan.
