Akshay Kumar Says No To The Sequels To Blockbuster Film Franchises

Things had started falling in place with multiple meetings between Akshay and producer Firoz Nadiadwala, however, it seems all goes in vain. According to the latest reports, Akshay has pulled out from doing "Hera Pheri 3", "Welcome 3", and "Awara Pagal Deewana 2".

It is said that despite continued efforts to bring the aforementioned films to life, Akshay Kumar didn't convince by the idea of Firoz Nadiadwala to take these franchises forward. The actor reportedly believes these are iconic films and compromising with the quality will not do justice to these films.

Akshay Kumar is looking to do a fresh comedy film, instead of riding on the popularity of past franchises with half-baked scripts. The actor already has a busy calendar with a variety of films and a new comedy film will make his line-up look even better.

On the other hand, producer Firoz Nadiadwala is now looking to approach other actors to take these franchises forward. It remains to see who comes on board these films and does justice to the characters.
