Sanjay Dutt is reportedly to join the star cast of Hera Pheri 3, and will be seen in the role of a gangster, NDTV reported.

An insider split to the publication that  "Very few know that the plot of Hera Pheri 3 is actually written by the late writer, Neeraj Vora, who been a key contributor to the earlier two Hera Pheri films. His plot has been given the modern flavour for the current context. Newer characters will be introduced in Hera Pheri 3, which includes Sanjay Dutt too as a gangster."

About the actor character in the new sequel, the insider shared: "Sanjay Dutt plays the role of Ravi Kishan's distant brother. Ravi Kishan is one of the many characters fooled by Raju, Shyam and Baburao in Phir Hera Pheri. Sanjay's come into picture in the comic capacity to represent the whacky track around Ravi Kishan and Sharat Saxena."

"The fans have been eager to know what happens to the guns and Hera Pheri 3 will open with the closing scene of Phir Hera Pheri. The story from there will take a leap and take the three characters on an international ride of guns and mafia," the source from PinkVilla satted.

Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal have reunited once again for the third installment. However, the comedy genre film is expected to release in June of this year.
