Kartik Aaryan to replace Akshay Kumar in ‘Hera Pheri 3’?

After taking on the role Akshay Kumar had played in the original ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ (2007) for the forthcoming sequel, Kartik Aaryan is reportedly being lined up to replace Kumar in the third part of the ‘Hera Pheri’ franchise.

The Asian Age reports that due to Kumar’s hefty price, some makers are not being able to afford him. He is therefore likely to be replaced by another actor, who will join Paresh Rawal and Suniel Shetty in the comedy. Rawal and Shetty will reprise their roles that they originally played in the first two ‘Hera Pheri’ films.

Aaryan’s next release is ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh’ out in December. Meanwhile, Kumar will be seen in ‘Housefull 4’, out this Diwali weekend.
