While no official announcement has been made, actor Suniel Shetty reacted to the same and said that Dutt will increase the level of comedy.

Suniel Shetty told Bombay Times, "With Sanjay Dutt on board, the film will be a laugh riot, because Sanju’s sense of comedy is unbelievable. His comic timing and body language will add ek aur chaand to this project. He will take this to another level. We share a fantastic relationship and that will transpire on screen, too."

Talking about Hera Pheri 3 earlier at a press conference, Sanjay Dutt also confirmed that he joined



the cast. He said, "Yes, I am doing the film. It will be exciting to shoot with the whole team. It’s a great franchise, and I’m so happy to be a part of it.

He shared the first few glimpses from the shoot and said, "So Hera Pheri 3 is finally happening! Look forward to being back on set with Paresh Rawal and Akki (Akshay Kumar).
