Akshay Kumar Clears the Air About Hera Pheri 3 Rumors and Shares Memorable Moment at Kudo Tournament

Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has recently set the record straight regarding the highly anticipated Hera Pheri 3 rumors. Speculation was rife when Akshay, along with co-stars Paresh Rawal and Suniel Shetty, were spotted together at Kalina Airport yesterday, sparking a frenzy of reports suggesting that the trio was gearing up to start shooting for the much-awaited comedy sequel. However, Akshay took to social media to clarify that these rumors were unfounded.

In a video shared on his official X profile (formerly Twitter), Akshay revealed that the airport sightings were not related to Hera Pheri 3. Instead, the trio was attending the 16th Akshay Kumar International Kudo Tournament 2024, a prestigious event dedicated to the martial art of Kudo. The video, which quickly gained traction online, shows Akshay participating in various physical activities alongside the tournament participants, with Suniel Shetty dressed in a blue karate gi, proudly sporting a black belt.

The event turned out to be a monumental one for the world of sports, as two Guinness World Records were broken during the tournament. Akshay, who has been a passionate advocate for physical fitness and martial arts, was thrilled to witness the remarkable achievements. In his post, he emphasized the importance of teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship, values that were demonstrated by the young champions at the event.

Akshay’s caption on the video read, “At the 16th Akshay Kumar International Kudo Tournament 2024, two Guinness World Records were shattered, making it a truly memorable day—no ‘Hera Pheri’ involved! The event saw young champions giving it their all, learning valuable lessons in teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship. And all this in the presence of our very own Babu bhaiya, @SirPareshRawal and Shyam, @SunielVShetty who made the event extremely special…thank you and thank you @MMAWITHMEHULVO1 and Team Kudo India for everything. @GWR.”

The video, which showcases Akshay Kumar engaging in various martial arts exercises, was a hit among fans. With his usual charisma and enthusiasm, Akshay demonstrated his commitment to fitness, even participating in drills alongside budding Kudo practitioners. Suniel Shetty, too, made a strong impression, flaunting his martial arts skills and dedication to the sport.

While the event was focused on the Kudo Tournament and not Hera Pheri 3, Akshay’s mention of his co-stars Paresh Rawal and Suniel Shetty in his post did get fans excited about the trio’s reunion on-screen. Their chemistry in the Hera Pheri franchise has been beloved by audiences for years, but for now, it seems that any talk about the much-anticipated sequel is premature.

The buzz around Hera Pheri 3 has been growing for months, with fans eagerly awaiting news about the film's production. Given the popularity of the first two films, there has been considerable speculation about the return of the iconic characters—Raju (Akshay Kumar), Baburao Ganpatrao Apte (Paresh Rawal), and Shyam (Suniel Shetty). While the airport sightings of the trio had fans hopeful about an official announcement, Akshay's clarification has put those rumors to rest—at least for the time being.

For now, fans can take solace in knowing that Akshay, Paresh, and Suniel are still actively working together, as demonstrated by their participation in the Kudo Tournament, where they helped promote positive values among the youth. As for Hera Pheri 3, only time will tell when, or if, the trio will once again return to their roles for a new adventure.
