Director
Indra
Kumar
says
he
is
done
with
his
adult
comedy
franchise
Masti
and
has
no
plans
to
take
it
forward.
The
director
said
his
decision
stems
from
the
fact
that
the
third
part
of
the
franchise,
Great
Grand
Masti,
was
leaked
online
weeks
before
it
was
set
to
hit
the
theatres
and
he
had
to
suffer
a
huge
loss
because
of
it.
"I
am
done
with
'Masti'
franchise
mainly
because
of
the
leak
.
I
am
put
off
by
adult
comedy
and
'Masti'
zone.
I
don't
feel
like
doing
it.
Tomorrow
if
I
think
I
want
to
do,
maybe
then
let's
see.
At
the
moment,
I
don't
want
to
take
it
forward.
Even
if
I
want
to,
I
will
not
direct
it.
For
me,
it
is
a
full
stop
on
the
franchise," Kumar
told
PTI.
After
making
romantic-drama
films,
Kumar
shifted
gears
and
made
an
adult
comedy
"Masti"
in
2004
about
three
married
men
--
Vivek
Oberoi,
Riteish
Deshmukh
and
Aftab
Shivdasani
--
indulging
in
extra
martial
affairs
but
things
go
awry
for
them
when
they
become
prime
suspect
of
a
murder.
The
film,
which
also
featured
Ajay
Devgn
and
Lara
Dutta,
was
a
huge
hit
and
spawned
two
more
films
-
Grand
Masti
and
Great
Grand
Masti.
Great
Grand
Masti
was
also
panned
by
the
critics.
Talking
about
the
failure
of
the
third
part,
Kumar
said,
"We
had
released
it
half-heartedly
as
we
knew
it
will
be
a
flop
because
it
was
already
leaked
online."
Kumar
is
currently
awaiting
the
release
of
his
next
big
multi-starrer
film,
Total
Dhamaal,
that
will
hit
the
cinema
houses
on
February
22.
"I
have
17
subjects
with
me,
I
don't
know
which
one
we
will
do
first.
Everything
is
different
from
one
another,"
Kumar
said
about
his
upcoming
films.
He
is
set
to
direct
the
third
part
of
Hera
Pheri
3,
which
will
see
Akshay
Kumar,
Suniel
Shetty
and
Paresh
Rawal
reprise
their
iconic
roles
of
Raju,
Shyam
and
Baburao
from
the
previous
two
films
of
the
franchise.
It
is
scheduled
to
release
next
year.
