Akshay Kumar has stepped back from the sequel of Hera Pheri. Kartik Aaryan is all set to star in Hera Pheri 3 after the success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.

Akshay has also left the sequels of Welcome and Awara Pagal Deewana. Actor Paresh Rawal took to Twitter handle to confirm Kartik will be seen in Hera Pheri 3.

When a fan asked for confirmation, he replied -Yes it’s true.

A fan on Twitter asked a question by tagging Paresh Rawal, “@Sir PareshRawal sir, is it true that Kartik Aaryan is doing Hera Pheri 3??” To which, Paresh tweeted, “Yes it is true.” Reacting to this news, one person wrote, “No Akshay, No Hera Pheri.” Second person commented, “Ye toh world cup mai haar se bhi zayada dukh bhara news hai (This news is more painful than news of losing World Cup).” Third person wrote, “We want all 3 (Akshay, Suniel and Paresh) in the movie, no one can think Hera Pheri 3 without Akshay.”
