Priyadarshan, the acclaimed director of the original *Hera Pheri* (2000), has finally addressed the much-speculated question about his involvement in *Hera Pheri 3*. In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, he shared his thoughts on returning to helm the third installment of the popular franchise.

The director stated that he would only consider directing *Hera Pheri 3* if the script lives up to the quality of the original film. “I cannot tell if I am doing the third part unless and until I can crack a film which has to do justice to the first installment,” he explained.

### “Third One Shouldn’t Let the First One Die”

Priyadarshan emphasized the importance of maintaining the legacy of the original movie. “The first part was born, but the third one shouldn’t let it die. If I am doing the film, I have to make sure that it is tolerable for people who watched the first part,” he added. His focus remains on delivering a film that honors the expectations of loyal fans.

### Director’s Conviction: “I Will Never Attempt Part 3 Unless…”

Further highlighting his commitment to quality, Priyadarshan made it clear that he won’t direct the sequel unless he is fully satisfied with the script. “Unless and until I crack the full film, I will never attempt part three. If a good script doesn’t turn out to my conviction, I will not do the film. I have climbed certain heights in my career from where I don’t want to fall badly,” he asserted.
