Akshay Kumar is reportedly planning to revive three of his most loved franchises – ‘Hera Pheri’, ‘Awara Pagal Deewana’ and ‘Welcome’ with Firoz Nadiadwala.
According to a report in a news portal, Akshay and comedy have always been a lethal combo, and the actor has delivered few of the most iconic characters for Hindi cinema in this space. The report also added that three of his many loved characters are Raju from ‘Hera Pheri’, Guru Gulab Khatri from ‘Awara Pagal Deewana’, and Rajiv from ‘Welcome’. So the actor is reportedly planning to revisit these characters one after the other with ‘Hera Pheri 3’, ‘Awara Pagal Deewana 2’, and ‘Welcome 3’.
The report further added that Akshay and Firoz have had multiple meetings over the last month, to get everything in place for these projects. According to the report, the idea is to revive the three franchises and bring back the Hindi cinema audience in a big way. The three films fit the bill of post covid content, to create genuine excitement in the audience. The talks are on with three top directors and an official announcement on one of the three projects is expected in the next few months, the report in Pinkvilla stated.
On the work front, Akshay will next be seen in ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’ co-starring Tiger Shroff. The actor also has films like, ‘Jolly LLB 3’ with Arshad Warsi and ‘Housefull 5’ in his pipeline.
