Soon after the release of Phir Hera Pheri, a jubilant producer Firoz A. Nadiadwala had confirmed that he was planning to go ahead with the third installment of Hera Pheri. Although the third installment is untitled yet, the enterprising producer did reveal that Neeraj Vora, who had scripted and directed Phir Hera Pheri, would direct Hera Pheri III as well.
But Neeraj Vora has decided not to direct the third installment.
Speaking from London, Neeraj has accompanied director Priyadarshan for the shooting of Bhagam Bhag. Neeraj confided that he wants to go beyond the //Hera Pheri series and explore newer horizons [scripts]. “No point getting repetitive. I don’t want the third part to look monotonous, so I’ve decided not to script or direct it,” the talented writer-director confides.
Does that mean he has closed doors on film direction and has taken to writing all over again? “Writing is a passion and I can never call it quits. But I’ve signed two films as director, for Balaji [Ekta Kapoor] and Ashtavinayak [Dhilin Mehta]. In fact, I am in the midst of completing the script of Balaji’s film, which should roll first,” he reveals.
