‘Hera Fairy’ is a big name in the iconic comedy movies of Bollywood. This movie starring Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty and Paresh Rawal is a cult even today. The sequel of ‘Hera-Fairy’ ‘Phir Hera Fairi’ was also released and it too became a big hit. Recently, there were rumors about making another third part of the movie, then it was a big news that Paresh Rawal would not act in that movie. Paresh Rawal agreed after Akshay Kumar negotiated. But now the movie is facing trouble again. A fight has started between the two producers over the rights of the movie.
Producer Feroze Nadiawala usually comes to mind immediately after ‘Hera Fairy’. But Vijay Kumar Gilani has claimed that he has the rights of the movie. According to him, he legally owns the rights to these images. “I own the rights to the Hera Fairy franchise. Feroze Nadiadwala has no rights to this film. I have gone to court in this matter and the truth will come out soon,’ said Vijay Kumar.
There are reports that producer Feroze Nadiawala has been facing financial difficulties for the past few years. It is said that the rights of some of his films were transferred to someone else due to non-payment of debts. At the same time, the rights of ‘Hera-Fairy’ have been transferred to Vijay Kumar.

Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty and Paresh Rawal’s combination of ‘Hera Fairy 3’ was supposed to start shooting. A promo was also shot. But due to the current legal dispute, the shooting of the film is likely to be delayed further. According to some reports, there is also a possibility of an injunction against the release of any new film or content under this name until the rights dispute is settled.
‘Hera Fairy 3’, which had already seen a lot of ups and downs in terms of story and casting, now got into an ownership dispute, which has disappointed the fans. If the rights of the film are with Vijay Kumar, the big question now is how Feroze Nadiawala will proceed with this project. All in all, the team of ‘Hera Fairy’, which was smiling on screen, is now like a court office drifting behind the screen. It remains to be seen who will win this legal battle and when ‘Hera Fairy 3’ will go on floors.
