Sameer Anjaan on uncertainty around the film

In a conversation with Bollywood Hungama about ‘Hera Pheri 3’, Sameer admitted that he is uncertain about the film’s fate, He shared, “Don’t know if it will be made. We don’t know what will happen. There is no clear-cut picture. Also, there is no guarantee if I will write for it. I wrote for the first version of Bhool Bhulaiyaa but not for the second version. Then I had to write for the third version. This goes on. It is not up to me if I will get a certain movie. If I am offered, then I will think what to write.”
