[ad_1]

Hera Pheri, undoubtedly, is one of the most amazing comedy films of its time. The punch lines, the errors, the casting – all fit perfectly well. Now, the fans of the franchise can rejoice as the Hera Pheri 3 is coming to the big screen next year. Adding more to the good news, the trio of Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal will be reprising their roles in the third installment.

In April 2018, Bollywood Hungama had reported that the trio was all set to return with Hera Pheri 3 but the project was still under works. Though no confirmation was made back then, it has been learned now that the project was locked last month only after the trio gave their dates for the film. According to the latest reports, the film will be shot in a start-to-finish schedule between December 2018 and February 2019. The makers will release the film in the second half of 2019. What’s more interesting is that Total Dhamaal director Indra Kumar will be helming this project.

Masti and Dhamaal fame Indra Kumar confirmed that he is indeed very excited to direct this stellar cast. Kumar took to Twitter and wrote, “This is going to be a fun project with a stellar star cast @akshaykumar @SunielVShetty @SirPareshRawal Looking forward to #HeraPheri3.”

The first film Hera Pheri was the remake of 1989 Malayalam film Ramji Rao Speaking. It was directed by Priyadarshan and released in 2000. The word of mouth really worked wonders for the film and it became a commercial success. Then, came the second installment Phir Hera Pheri, under a new director Neeraj Vora. The film released in 2006. Vora was also the screenplay writer of the first installment. He had locked in the script for the third film in 2014 and was planning to helm it as well. But, in 2017, after one year in the coma, the filmmaker – actor-writer passed away.

James Mangold to Write and Direct Boba Fett Movie!

James Mangold to write and direct Boba Fett movie!

The Hollywood Reporter brings word that Logan director James Mangold will write and direct a standalone Boba Fett movie for Lucasfilm. The film will follow in the footsteps of Rogue One and Solo as standalone “Star Wars Stories,” anthology movies from the galaxy far, far away.

A bounty hunter, Boba Fett made his debut in Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back originally (before “The Special Edition” of A New Hope gave him an earlier appearance) as one of the bounty hunters hired by the Empire to find the Millennium Falcon. Fett succeeded in his mission and took Han Solo back to Jabba’s Palace, where he would meet an untimely end in the Sarlac Pitt. Some say he’s still being digested to this day. The character also appeared as a young boy in Star Wars: Episode II, where it was revealed that his classic look and ship came from his father Jango Fett, who was also the basis for the titular Clone army. The character has long been a fan favorite.

Mangold’s other credits include The Wolverine, his first forray into the X-Men, as well as the Academy Award winning biopic of Johnny Cash, Walk the Line, and the remake of the western film 3:10 to Yuma.

Previously it was reported that Chronicle director Josh Trank and X-Men: Days of Future Past writer/producer Simon Kinberg were working on a Fett movie, but that project fell apart due to a number of factors.

Lucasfilm is reportedly developing a number of standalone movies to expand the Star Wars universe on the big screen including an Obi-Wan Kenobi film with director Stephen Daldry and rumors that they’re interested in a Yoda solo movie as well.
