Suniel Shetty talks about Hera Pheri 3; says he is looking ‘forward to being back on set with Pareshji & Akki’

Suneil Shetty, Akshay Kumar, and Paresh Rawal recently kickstarted the much-awaited threequel of Hera Pheri and soon they will also start the shooting of the same. Talking about the same, Suniel Shetty took to his LinkedIn page and said he is looking forward to working with Akshay and Paresh again. He also went on to explain the business of movie-making and said, “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.”

“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,” he added.

Further adding details regarding the distribution angle he said, “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. #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,” the actor concluded.
