Talking about opting out of Hera Pheri 3, the actor at a Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, he had said, “Hera Pheri has been a part of me. A lot of people have memories and even I have good memories of it. But I feel sad that we haven't made the third part for so many years.

This past year, Akshay Kumar hasn’t seen much success as his movies, Bachchan Pandey, Samrat Prithviraj, Raksha Bandhan, Cuttptlli and Ram Setu, tanked horribly at the box-office and received negative reviews from the critics and audience.
