The first half of Hera Pheri, the iconic comedy that was directed by Priyadarshan, was pretty much about the shenanigans and struggles of the three protagonists- Raju, Shyam, and Baburao Ganpatrao Apte. It was only after the interval after the kidnapping of Devi Prasad's granddaughter that the plot kicks in and the madness triggers. That little kid, Ann Alexia Anra, now spoke to Bollywood Hungama about the film completing two glorious decades.

Since she was too young and her parents expectedly and rightly wanted her to concentrate on her studies, acting in movies was tough. However, speaking about this comedy, she said, "Hera Pheri was allowed because it was shot during the summer vacations. But after that, they didn't let me do any other movie. Hera Pheri happened because my dad is a Malayali and someone from Priyadarshan's side knew that I had acted in Avvai Shanmugi."
