Priyadarshan Was Convincing Akshay Kumar & Others To Not To Do Phir Hera Pheri, Claims Producer Firoz Nadiadwala

Hera Pheri recently became 21 years old, but the film still remains one of the most lauded comedy films in Bollywood. Unfortunately, after completing two decades, the film is now getting surrounded by some shocking revelations and claims. It all started when the director Priyadarshan recently took an indirect jibe on the sequel. And now, producer Firoz Nadiadwala has reacted to the same.

Priyadarshan had shared that he didn’t want to direct the sequel as he was totally against the idea of dragging the premise of the first film. As per him, a sequel wasn’t needed. Now, reacting to his statement, producer Firoz Nadiadwala has stated that Priya didn’t even direct the first film properly, so there was no question of approaching him for the second one.

Speaking to Mid Day, Firoz Nadiadwala said, “I kept mum all these years out of respect for Priyan, and because the film became a blockbuster. But he has left no opportunity to run down my father and me. How can he talk about turning down our offer to direct the second and upcoming third part, when he did not even complete the first film?”
