Akshay Kumar To Headline Sequels To 'Hera Pheri', 'Awara Pagal Deewana', And 'Welcome'

Mumbai, November 8 - It has been a tough year for Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar who failed to give a single hit at the box office in many many years. Akshay has four theatrical releases in 2022, and none of them could reach 100 crores at the domestic box office.## Though the box office numbers of his movies are higher than most of the other Bollywood films, the films underperformed as the expectations were high. The box office scenario post the covid-19 pandemic has changed a lot and it seems Akshay Kumar has realized it and has decided to revive the iconic characters he played in the past. ## According to Pinkvilla, Akshay Kumar has decided to revive the blockbuster sequels to his iconic comedy capers like "Hera Pheri", "Welcome", and "Awara Pagal Deewana". It is said that the superstar has been meeting with producer Firoz Nadiadwala and they already have had multiple meetings over the last few months. ## The news about "Hera Pheri 3" has already been making noise for the last couple of years as Nadiadwala confirmed in multiple interviews that he has a script ready for this blockbuster franchise to take this forward. ## "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 3 top directors, and expect an official announcement on one of the three projects in the next few months", the report says.## Apart from the aforementioned films, Akshay will also be visiting "Jolly LLB 3", and "Houseful 5" along with the already announced two-hero action comedy "Bade Miyan Chote Miyan". He also has "OMG 2", "Soorarai Pottru" remake, "Selfiee", and "Capsule Gill" in the pipeline. ## Stay tuned...

'Akshay Kumar Can't Be Replaced': Anees Bazmee

Mumbai, May 21 - The sequel to Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan's 2007's horror-comedy "Bhool Bhulaiyaa" has been released in theaters on May 20th. This time, for a change, Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani have stepped in to play the leads with Tabu stepping into the shoes of Vidya Balan as Anjulika & Manjulika. ## While the star cast and the story are completely different, the Anees Bazmee-directed film has managed to entertain the audiences just like its preceder. There were always doubts whether this movie could justify the original movie, but post the release most fans can agree that the sequel is a package that turned out to be even better than expected.## Meanwhile, the fans of this classical horror-comedy were surprised when the movie was announced with Kartik Aaryan in the lead but not Akshay. In a recent chat with Indian Express, director Anees Bazmee was asked why he did not cast Akshay and Vidya for the sequel. To this, the filmmaker replied, "Akshay is too big for these small things".## "Akshay Kumar cannot be replaced, and he knows that he is not replaced in this film. Akshay has had a great body of work for over 25 years. Akshay is doing comedy, he is dancing, he is doing the action, he is doing everything, and he is getting offered the kind of films he wants. So, it is a very small thing for him to do or not do Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2", Bazmee said. ## The director went on to add that if the story would have permitted, Akshay would have agreed to come on board. He shared that he and Akshay have a great relationship as well as a friendship. Meanwhile, Akshay also spoke about "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2" and said he hasn't seen the movie yet but know the story of it. ## Stay tuned...
