Exclusive: Irrfan Khan to play a lovable don in Abhishek Bachchan-John Abraham’s Hera Pheri 3!

Read on to get more interesting details about the plot…

We are all upset by Akshay Kumar‘s absence from the third installment of the Hera Pheri franchise but everything happens for a reason. A source suggests that the makers didn’t approach the Baby actor for Hera Pheri 3 because the script did not require his character in the film. Instead both Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham will be seen playing the character of Raju while Suniel Shetty will play his character of Shyam and Paresh Rawal will relive the iconic role of Baburao Ganpat Rao Apte.

Apart from these leads another addition made to the cast is Irrfan Khan who will be seen playing a lovable don in the film! A source reveals, “Irrfan Khan’s character will be that of a lovable don and it is nothing like the characters of Abhishek and John. The writers are still writing the don’s character and Irrfan is being considered as the best suited actor for this part. In all probability he will be playing the lovable don!”

Irrfan has made his name based on the serious roles but hardly has the actor played comic roles onscreen! This role of Mr Khan in Hera Pheri 3 sounds like the role of a lifetime! Are you excited to see Irrfan join Abhishek and John in the mad laughter riot that is Hera Pheri 3?
