The excitement surrounding Hera Pheri 3 refuses to die down, and the most recent controversy involves author Rohan Shankar, who has now addressed rumours about his alleged exit from the much-anticipated comedy sequel. After several reports claimed that the author had stepped away from the project, Shankar has firmly denied the speculation, calling it misleading.
Hera Pheri 3 Row: Author Rohan Shankar breaks silence, calls exit reports ‘fake news’
Taking to social media, the author clarified that the claims were baseless and stemmed from a misinterpretation of his earlier comments. He stated, “Some fake news is being spread in my name a few big film. It’s completely false and has almost no truth in it. An easy interview about my work and cinema has been taken out of context and made right into a clickbait headline. Please ignore it.”
The confusion appears to have originated from a recent interview where Shankar spoke concerning the challenges surrounding the film’s development. While he acknowledged being in discussions for the screenplay, he also identified that the project is currently facing delays resulting from ongoing legal complications. His remarks about scheduling issues, including director Priyadarshan being occupied with other projects, were reportedly misconstrued as confirmation of his exit.
