Gulshan Grover confirms Kabira's return in 'Hera Pheri 3', shares exciting new role details

'Hera Pheri 3' is set to bring back the beloved trio of Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Suniel Shetty, with Gulshan Grover returning as Kabira. Directed by Priyadarshan, filming will commence in December 2025 and continue for six months. The film aims for a release in 2027, coinciding with Akshay's 60th birthday. Fans have eagerly awaited this sequel since the success of its predecessor in 2006, and the excitement is real as the original cast reunites for another comedic adventure.

For those who may not know, in the original 'Hera Pheri', Kabira was a crime lord whose mistaken call to Paresh Rawal’s Baburao sparked a series of hilarious events. After a brief appearance in 'Phir Hera Pheri'' that left fans wanting more, Grover is now ready to reprise the role after 19 years. In an exclusive conversation with Mid-Day, he confirmed, “Yes, Kabira returns,” and expressed his excitement about 'Hera Pheri 3', stating, “I have met producer Firoze Nadiadwala multiple times and discussed the role.” Grover also hinted that this time, Kabira will exhibit both negative and positive traits.

While the plot details of 'Hera Pheri 3' remain largely undisclosed, Grover hinted at an intriguing new direction for his character, Kabira. The actor disclosed that he cannot say much at this stage. All he can reveal is that Kabira will possess both negative and positive traits. His return heightens the anticipation of reuniting the original trio—Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Suniel Shetty—back in action. Furthermore, recent comments from actor Tabu regarding her potential involvement have sparked additional speculation about the film's ensemble cast.

Apart from 'Hera Pheri 3', Grover will also be seen in several films like 'Love in Vietnam', Nagraj Manjule’s 'Matka King', and a Karan Johar-backed action comedy starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan.
