Monday, 19th Jan 2015, 5:54 PM IST Recently, ‘Hera Pheri 3’ was announced with the cast of the film which includes Paresh Rawal, Sunil Shetty, John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan. And if sources are to be believed, before Abhishek, Irrfan Khan was selected for the role and Jr. Bachchan later replaced him. According to the grapevine, Irrfan was injured; still he shot for an audio visual which was slated to show at the announcement of the film. But, the makers later opted for Abhishek because of his chemistry with John. A source said, "Irrfan was advised bed rest but he still went to shoot the video. The makers then told him that he will be given another role and is not a part of the film. When he learnt about Abhishek coming on board, he got extremely angry as he wasn't kept in the loop about it." However, director Neeraj Vora denied the reports and said, "The video that we shot was not supposed to be shown at the mahurat. We shot it to see how Irrfan would fit in the film. But, Abhishek hasn't replaced him. Irrfan wanted a few changes in his role and I am working on it. Everything is in the negotiation stage. I don't know if he will be a part of the film or not." The spokespersonof the film said, "The writers are now developing his (Irrfan) role and once that is done, the producers will approach him. There is no question of any replacement as it's a completely new story, with new characters." A source close to Irrfan said, "He didn't go to shoot the video, but to discuss the role. Finally, it didn't work out. He was not approached for Abhishek's role."
