Akshay Kumar will soon be reuniting with producer Firoz Nadiadwala with three comedy capers – Hera Pheri 3 (or 4), Welcome 3 and Awara Paagal Deewana 2. And now we hear that there will be 2 more additions to the cast.
Munna Bhai and Circuit join the gang
According to sources, Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi will be seen playing a key role in Awara Pagal Deewana 2.
“The idea is to make a proper multi-starrer action comedy. Awara Pagal Deewana 2 will be the biggest film of the lot in terms of scale and budget with a big star cast. The actors for Awara Pagal Deewana 2 include Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Johnny Lever, Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi among others. A couple of more names will come on board in the next 2 months,” revealed a source close to the development.
Awara Pagal Deewana is presently in the pre-production stage with director, Ahmed Khan and producer, Firoz Nadiadwala actively working on the script and also getting the other technical crew sorted.
“It’s a work in progress to get action directors on board. The two are also in the process of locking the shoot locations. Once all the aspects of making the film are on paper, Firoz will sit down with his actors to get their dates, probably by year-end/early next year,” the source added.
Sanjay Dutt in Hera Pheri 3
Hera Pher 3/4 is also in the works and it too features Sanjay Dutt in a key role. He will play a blind character, who happens to be the cousin of Ravi Kishan from Phir Hera Pheri.
There is no clarity on who the director will be. Earlier it was indirectly revealed by the media that Farhad Samji would be directing it. But the recent reports state that the team might change the director due to Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan not working as expected at the box office and all the negativity on the internet. There is no clarity on the matter as yet.
