\"WriterIn a spirited defense, Rohan Shankar, known for his work on ‘Hera Pheri 3’, has rejected the swirling speculation about his withdrawal from the project, labeling the claims as inaccurate. He stated that while talks had been initiated, the film\u2019s progress has hit a snag due to legal troubles. Writer Rohan Shankar has denied reports claiming he has exited \u2018Hera Pheri 3\u2019, calling the chatter around his alleged departure inaccurate and misleading. The clarification comes as fresh speculation about the film\u2019s status continues to build, especially given that the project is already tied up in legal questions over franchise rights. Shankar said the narrative being circulated does not reflect the facts and urged people not to believe headlines built from remarks taken out of context.<\/p>\n

‘Hera Pheri 3’ update and Rohan Shankar’s statement<\/p>\n

In comments cited from his social media statement, Shankar wrote, \u201cSome fake news is being spread in my name about a big film. It\u2019s completely false and has almost no truth in it. A simple interview about my work and cinema has been taken out of context and turned into a clickbait headline. Please ignore it.\u201d His response directly addresses reports that said he had stepped away from \u2018Hera Pheri 3\u2019. <\/p>\n

Dhurandhar 2 Dominance: Akshay Kumar\u2019s \u2018Bhooth Bangla\u2019 Moves to Paid Previews Release In his conversation with News18, Shankar explained that he had been involved in discussions around the film and had also written its teaser. He said, \u201cI was in talks, and it was supposed to happen, but it didn\u2019t because of legal issues. Hopefully, if \u2018Hera Pheri 3\u2019 happens and if Priyadarshan sir is there, maybe I will be too.\u201d That statement suggests the issue is less about a personal exit and more about the film\u2019s unresolved production hurdles.<\/p>\n

‘Hera Pheri 3’ legal troubles and franchise rights<\/p>\n

Shankar also spoke about director Priyadarshan\u2019s packed schedule. He said, \u201cNo, Priyan sir, because he is doing a lot of work, we have just shot \u2018Bhooth Bangla\u2019 and \u2018Haiwan\u2019, and now he has to do another film. After that, he has to do a film with Mohanlal sir, which is his 100th film\u2026 He doesn\u2019t stop. Priyan sir works a lot. Priyan sir and Akshay sir are workaholics.\u201dThe larger issue remains the legal fight around the franchise. According to Bar and Bench, Seven Arts International Limited moved the Madras High Court, arguing that producer Firoz Nadiadwala had the right to make only one Hindi remake of the Malayalam film \u2018Ramji Rao Speaking\u2019. The company alleged that he exceeded those rights by making \u2018Phir Hera Pheri\u2019 and later selling the rights to a third film.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a spirited defense, Rohan Shankar, known for his work on ‘Hera Pheri 3’, has rejected the swirling…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":381481,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[170244,93,170243,170241,170242,61,60,270,170240],"class_list":{"0":"post-381480","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-akshay-kumar-hera-pheri-franchise","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-hera-pheri-3-legal-issues","11":"tag-hera-pheri-3-news-update","12":"tag-hera-pheri-3-writer-statement","13":"tag-ie","14":"tag-ireland","15":"tag-movies","16":"tag-rohan-shankar-hera-pheri-3"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381480","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=381480"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381480\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/381481"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=381480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=381480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=381480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
