Not Deepika, Anushka pairs up with SRK in Imtiaz Ali’s next

Deepika Padukone lost a promising project opposite superstar Shahrukh Khan. Imtiaz Ali is going to bring back the ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’, Anushka Sharma and Shahrukh Khan for the second time together. Earlier, there were buzz that Deepika might pair up opposite King Khan but now it is learnt that Anushka Sharma grabbed the meaty project.

According to Rajeev Masand, Imtiaz Ali chose Anushka over Deepika because he felt Deepika has done too many films with SRK and so audience would love to see SRK-Anushka’s pairing more than Deepika-Shahrukh considering Anushka has done two movies with the actor.

Deepika has done three movies with SRK. She debuted with Farah Khan’s ‘Om Shanti Om’ and followed with ‘Chennai Express’ and ‘Happy New Year’ while Anushka paired opposite SRK in her first movie ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ and then done ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’

Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal back in ‘Hera Pheri 3’

Akshay Kumar, Suneil Shetty and Paresh Rawal are back on board. They will star in the third instalment of the comic caper ‘Hera Pheri 3’. After John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan walked out of the project, the original cast were roped in. According to the latest buzz, Ahmed Khan will be helming this movie instead of Neeraj Vora who had directed 'Phir Hera Pheri'.

A DNA report quoted a source as saying, "All issues including the ones Akshay had with the producer Firoz Nadiadwala have been sorted. Neeraj will focus on the screenplay and script while Ahmed is directing it. The film will roll from October this year. The script that was written around Abhishek and John earlier has also been drastically modified to suit Akshay, Sunil and Paresh. The film will begin from where PHP ended with Raju fleeing with the gun. Now Baburao and Ghyanshyam will be searching for him.”

John and Abhishek shot for ‘Hera Pheri 3’ in Dubai for three months. Later, John decided to leave the project and concentrate on Rohit Dhawan’s ‘Dishoom’. After John, Abhishek Bachchan also opted out. He made a statement, “I am not going to be doing that film anymore. It just didn't work out.”
 
The film was supposed to release in August this year but now pushed to 2017. The original casts Akshay, Suniel and Paresh are on board but the female lead is yet to be decided

Hope, the third instalment of the successful franchise will be equally entertaining and tickle your funny bones.
