Writer Rohan Shankar has denied reports claiming that he has exited ‘Hera Pheri 3’, calling chatter around his alleged departure inaccurate and misleading.

Shankar said the narrative being circulated does not reflect the facts and urged people not to believe headlines based on statements taken out of context.

In the comments quoted from his statement on social media, Shankar wrote: “Some fake news is being spread in my name about a big film. It is completely false and contains almost no truth. A simple interview about my work and cinema has been taken out of context and turned into a headline.”
Please ignore that.” His response directly addresses reports that he has walked away from ‘Hera Pheri 3’.

In his conversation with News18, Shankar explained that he was involved in discussions about the film and also wrote the teaser for it. “I was in talks, and it was supposed to happen, but it didn’t happen due to legal issues. I hope that if ‘Hera Pheri 3’ happens and if Priyadarshan sir is there, then maybe I will be there as well,” he said.
This statement suggests that the issue is less about personal outings and more about unresolved obstacles to the film’s production.

Shankar also spoke about director Priyadarshan’s busy schedule. He said, “No, Brian sir, because he is doing a lot of work. We have just shot Bhooth Bangla and Haiwan, and now he has to do another film. Next, he has to do a film with Mohanlal sir, which is his 100th film… He is not stopping.”
Mr. Brian works a lot. “Bryan sir and Akshay sir are workaholics.”The biggest issue remains the legal battle over the franchise. According to Bar and Bench, Seven Arts International Limited has moved the Madras High Court, arguing that producer Feroz Nadiadwala has the right to produce only one Hindi version of the Malayalam film ‘Ramji Rao Talking’. The company claimed that he bypassed those rights by producing the film “Phir Hera Pheri” and later selling the rights to a third film.
