‘Hera Pheri 4’ faces legal challenges over copyrights

Mumbai: T-series has issued a notice asserting its rights to the audio and visuals of the newly started filming of another sequel of Hera Pheri, leading to legal trouble.

Hera Pheri, and its sequel, starred Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Suniel Shetty, and were released in 2000 and 2006, respectively. Reportedly, the first movie was made with a budget of Rs 7.5 crore and earned Rs 17.8 crore, while the budget for Phir Hera Pheri was Rs 18 crore and it collected Rs 69.12 crore at the box office. The first film became a cult classic, and the second was a decent hit.

The film has been making headlines for some time now. First, there were rumors that Kartik Aaryan would replace Akshay in the sequel. Then came the news that Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal are returning, and they shot for a promo one day.

The film will be titled ‘Hera Pheri 4’ and will be based on the original story of the late Neeraj Vora. Meanwhile, fans are petitioning online to remove director Farhad Samji from the film. And T-series claims to be the sole and exclusive copyright owner of all the music and audio rights associated with the franchise film.
