Akshay Kumar affirms 'Hera Pheri 3' and two other comedy films

Akshay Kumar affirmed Hera Pheri 3 and two other comedy films, hinting at a return to comedy amidst woke culture.

During his appearance at The Beer Biceps Show, the host discussed meme culture with the 56-year-old actor, highlighting how certain scenes and stills from their previous movies have turned into iconic meme templates.

Akshay inquired from the host about the reason behind the creation of memes, on which the host explained that some people take offense to comedy in general, which is why there are fewer comedy movies produced, leading to the proliferation of comedy memes.

The Welcome actor then subtly criticized woke culture and its impact on comedy, saying, "Do you know why comedy is decreasing? Why have so many people brought woke culture here?"

Suggesting that he could potentially star in Hera Pheri 3, Akshay said, "But it will come now, this year, by next year. Quite a few comedy films will come. 2-3 I am doing myself. I’m doing Welcome to the Jungle, Housefull 5 and might do Hera Pheri 3 too."

He continued, "It’s fun in comedy. It feels really strange when people become very strict. ‘What is this? Making fun of him, making fun of her). I’m just doing a part; I’m just playing a character."

On the work front, Akshay Kumar will next be seen in the film Bade Miyan Chote Miyan alongside Tiger Shroff, releasing on April 10, 2024.
