Farhad Samji Breaks Silence On 'Remove Farhad Samji From Hera Pheri 3' Trend

Mumbai, April 14 - Director Farhad Samji, who is gearing up for the release of the much-awaited Salman Khan starrer Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, has been at the center of social media negativity regarding his future films.

In February this year, it came to light that Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal would be reuniting for the 3rd installment of the much loved Hera Pheri and they even shot an announcement video for the same.



It was also reported that Farhad Samji would be directing the film, and soon after it was revealed, the fans of Akshay Kumar started a negative trend "Remove Farhad Samji from Hera Pheri 3" as they didn't want him to direct such a huge film.

A section of the film industry supported the trend and pointed out how it's justified to blame Samji entirely if a certain film or series of him didn't meet the expectations. The critisism grew after Samji's web series, "Pop Kaun" met with disaster response.

The filmmaker finally breaks silence on the trend and spoke to Bollywood Hungama. "Firstly, when the film has not even been officially announced, toh kaun hai yeh log? We try our best. If anyone has any problem, then we'll try to rectify it by making better movies and by writing better punches. Our intention is to appeal to audiences of all kinds and provide them with a film that has a combination of romance, masala, action, comedy etc".



"God has been very kind right from my writing days, and it continues as I turned director. Housefull 4 (2019) is the biggest hit of Akshay Kumar. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is such a huge success if we take into account the ROI. Ab iske aage kya bolne ka?", he added.

There hasn't been officially confirmed yet whether Samji will direct the film as many reports stated that he only directed promo and might not helm the film. The film will also see Sanjay Dutt joining the team. It will be produced by Firoz Nadiadwala and will go on floors in the second half of 2023.
