Akshay Kumar has a big Bollywood market value and he is one of the most expensive actors to be roped in by any filmmaker. This time, Feroz Nadiadwala’s just can’t afford to take in Akshay because of his sky high cost.

 

‘Hera Pheri’ was a super-duper comedy hit and Akshay got great compliments for his acting in the movie. The producer of the movie Feroz Nadiadwala waited for four years for the actor to decide upon a reasonable price to act in the movie.

 

Feroz helplessly states, “I first started discussing the third `Hera Pheri` movie with Akshay in 2006. I never wanted to make it without him. It`s sad that we couldn`t come to an agreement. Akshay is like a brother. But I can`t afford him. I hope we work together again very soon.”

 

So, when the main face of ‘Hera Pheri’ didn’t remain in it, the whole casting got changed in its sequel. Now, it’s Abhishek Bachchan who will play the role of Akki and Nana Patekar would replace Paresh Rawal. Sanjay Dutt has been cast in place of Suniel Shetty.

 

Anees Bazmi is going to direct the movie and Feroz adds further, “It`s going to be one of the funniest comedies in living memory.” Anees has also written the script of the movie.
