Neeraj Vora's comeback as director of Hera Pheri 3 and the addition of John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan were also reported. The movie was delayed for a number of reasons. Part 3 appears to be on schedule again, and Rawal himself has confirmed this. Kartik Aaryan has joined the team this time, though.

According to the report, Akshay requested a fee of Rs 90 crore plus a profit-sharing payment. Kartik, on the other side, was prepared to work on the film for Rs 30 crore. When Firoz spoke with the satellite and digital players, he realised that working with Kartik would yield more fruitful results than having Akshay on board.

He left the project, though, for a variety of reasons. However, any official confirmation about the same is yet to be announced by the makers.

He will appear in the third installment of the popular comedy series "Hera Pheri" as well as "Aashiqui 3."

Kartik will also be featured in ‘Satyaprem Ki Katha’, ‘Freddy’, and ‘Captain India’.
