Suniel Shetty shares his excitement on working with Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal; says, “Look forward to being back on set with Pareshji & Akki”

Confirming that Hera Pheri 3 is finally on the floors, the actor wrote, “So Hera Pheri 3 is finally happening! Look forward to being back on set with Pareshji & Akki. Like all good things, this one took some time, but it’s a relief to finally have an answer to this question! Films are such a huge part of our culture, and yet, not many understand what goes into making a film. Apart from creative challenges, the #businessmodel & needs of the #movie business make it as challenging as any other.”

He further added, “The movie business isn’t very different. To explain the entirety of the movie business here would be over simplifying it. But let’s just say having a good script, a set of actors & a director is literally just the start point. There’s the #financing of a movie. It’s usually #studios or #productionhouses, which invest their own #capital. Their teams assess the viability of a project before deciding on the budget.”

Moreover, Suniel Shetty wrote extensively about the distribution perspective, he wrote, “Some large films are financed through pre-sales and distribution deals, in which the distribution rights for the film are sold in advance to distributors and/or streaming platforms. Another key aspect in the movie business is #distribution. It’s a complex process that involves several layers like producers, distributors & exhibitors.”

Talking about monetising films, he said, “#BoxOffice collections, domestic & international, are the primary ones. Success depends on various factors, including the star cast, genre, music & the buzz created. Then come the #TV (satellite) & #OTT (digital) rights, which are a significant % of overall revenue. These deals can be fairly structured at times. Recently these values shot through the roof, but have become more rational off late.”

“33 years & 125 films later I don’t have it all figured out, but I will keep getting better at it,” Shetty concluded.

On the work front, Shetty’s last project Dharavi Bank was released on MX Player last year. Directed by Samit Kakkad, the web series saw him play a gangster from Mumbai with Vivek Oberoi essaying the role of a cop. He will be next seen in Hera Pheri 3 reuniting with co-stars Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal. Earlier this week, a promo announcement shoot for the film was held in Mumbai. Paresh had shared that the film's shoot will begin in three months and the trio of Raju, Shyam, and Babu Bhaiyya, will travel abroad for the third sequel.
