Nine years after the sequel to cult comedy Hera Pheri was released, Feroz Nadiawala is now ready to make Hera Pheri 3.

The cast has been tweaked a little and this time, Dostana co-stars John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan will be seen in lead roles.

The film also stars Sunil Shetty and Paresh Rawal, who were featured in the first two films – Hera Pheri (2000) and Phir Hera Pheri (2006) – alongside Akshay Kumar. Hera Pheri 3 will once again be directed by Neeraj Vora, reported Times of India.

A source revealed to Mid-day that: "It is learnt that Vora saw some portions of Welcome Back and felt John had a good comic timing in the film. He also feels that Abhishek is quite a natural at doing funny scenes. So, there was no doubt about signing on the lead actors."

Filming will begin in March and will be extensively shot in Mumbai, Dubai and Las Vegas, according to Bollywood Hungama.

A release date has not yet been announced.
