Earlier, while talking about the challenges, Priyadarshan shared, "It is going to be very challenging to make the third part because there will be too many expectations.

More about Hera Pheri 3
With the Hera Pheri film, Priyadarshan will be making a sequel for the first time in his filmmaking career. However, before him, it was Farhad Samji who was supposed to direct the film, and the internet was buzzing with rumors of Kartik Aaryan replacing Akshay Kumar.
These reports caught fire when Paresh Rawal confirmed Kartik’s involvement in the film. But with Priyadarshan coming on board, Paresh Rawal has clarified his remark on Kartik and shared that, earlier, with Farhad directing the movie, it was a different story. However, even then, Kartik was never supposed to replace Akshay—he was supposed to join the film as a whole new character.
After Akshay Kumar wished Priyadarshan with a sweet post, the latter reacted to it with a grand announcement. While responding to Akshay, Priyadarshan wrote, “Thank you so much for your wishes, Akshay. In return, I would like to give you a gift. I am willing to do Hera Pheri 3—are you ready, Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal?"
