The responsibility for Hera Pheri going forward is equally shared by Akshay ji, Paresh ji, our company and Suniel ji. We all share a responsibility. Responsibility between us, to the audiences who have been so kind with the affection coming forward and to the trade as well. It is a huge responsibility. It is a moral responsibility. Not just a responsibility that you can weigh in commerce and monetize,” he said.
Hera Pheri, starring Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal was directed by Priyadarshan and was a story of a landlord and his two paying guests who get a chance to get rich when the granddaughter of a famous businessman gets kidnapped and the kidnapper mistakenly calls them for ransom.
