Kumar said, "Even I am waiting to start Hera Pheri 3. I don't know, but if everything goes well, it will start this year."
He added, "When we started Hera Pheri, we didn't know it would go ahead to become such a cult. Even when I saw the film, I didn't understand."
"Yes, it was funny but none of us expected the characters of Babu Bhaiya (Rawal), Raju (Kumar), and Shyam (Shetty) to become a cult."
