Akshay
Kumar,
who
played
the
role
of
Raju,
a
happy-go-lucky
kinda
guy
in
both
the
Hera
Pheri
series,
would
of
course
not
be
in
the
third
farncise,
but
the
name
Raju
would
stick
again
on
the
third
series.
This
time
Raju
would
be
two
people.
Instead
Akshay
Kumar's
character
Raju,
is
being
replaced
by
Abhishek
Bachchan
as
Raju
Khabri,
who
is
a
roughish
police
informer
and
the
other
Raju
who
is
a
duplicate
is
being
played
by
John
Abraham.
John
Abraham's
character
Raju,
makes
a
living
by
selling
pirated
copies
of
Bhojpuri
films.
The
third
series
of
Hera
Pheri
is
produced
by
Firoz
Nadiadwala
asn
was
quoted
as
saying,
"Akshay
played
the
roguish
and
very
popular
character
Raju
in
Hera
Pheri.
We
have
incorporated
references
in
the
dialogue
to
his
character
as
gone
missing.
Writer-director
Neeraj
Vora
has
incorporated
two
characters
named
Raju
who
could
have
been
played
by
Akshay.
One
is
a
character
called
Raju
Khabri,
a
roguish
police
informer
played
by
Abhishek
Bachchan,
and
the
other
is
Raju
Duplicate
played
by
John
Abraham
who
makes
a
living
by
selling
pirated
copies
of
Bhojpuri
films."
The
writers
scripted
the
story
keeoing
Akshay
Kumar
in
mind,
but
never
mind
if
he's
not
part
of
the
movie
anymore,
atleast
we
get
to
see
Raju
in
two
different
characters
now.
Tickling
Funny
Bones
Akshay
Kumar's
character
in
Hera
Pheri
was
the
coolest
of
them
all.
Raju
Is
Back
Twice
Not
to
worry,
though
Askahy
Kumar
won't
be
in
Hera
Pheri
3,
his
character
Raju
would
be
lived
on
by
2
people,
John
Abraham
and
Abhishek
Bachchan.
