Farhad Samji breaks silence on 'Hera Pheri 3' trend

Several Hera Pheri fans campaigned against Farhad Samji to remove him from the upcoming comedy film director post.

Now, the director has responded to the criticism in his new interview.

During an interview with Bollywood Hungama, the Houseful filmmaker said, “Firstly, when the film has not even been officially announced, so who are these people?

Secondly, you used two words in your question -and I’d like to highlight them – ‘unfair’ and ‘target’. We try our best. If anyone has any problem, then we’ll try to rectify it by making better movies and by writing better punches."

The 48-year-old added, "Our intention is to appeal to audiences of all kinds and provide them with a film that has a combination of romance, masala, action, comedy etc. God has been very kind right from my writing days, and it continues as I turned director. Housefull 4 (2019) is the biggest hit of Akshay Kumar. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is such a huge success if we take into account the ROI. Now, What can I say beyond this?”

The original film was helmed by Priyadarshan. While the second was by Neeraj Vora.
