No hera pheri here! 

A lot of talk has been going around since news about Kartik Aaryan being roped in to play the street-smart Raju instead of Akshay Kumar in Hera Pheri 3 broke out. Rumour has it that Kartik has been signed on for a fee of R30 crore, that is one-third of Akki’s R90 crore. At a recent event, the Ram Setu actor clarified his inability to join Suniel Shetty’s Shyam and Paresh Rawal’s Baburao in the third instalment of their hit comedy franchise. Akki maintained that he wasn’t too excited with the way the narrative was shaping up. So, due to creative differences, he opted out on an amicable note. The actor also answered the question of being trolled as Canadian Kumar. He asserted that having a Canadian passport doesn’t make him any less of an Indian. Reiterating that he has applied for Indian passport, he added, “We all know the pandemic slowed things down for over two years. I’ve got a letter in response to the paperwork that I had submitted before the pandemic hit us. Hopefully, I will get an Indian passport soon.”
