Since its inception in 2013, Fukrey has captured the hearts of audiences as one of Hindi cinema’s most beloved desi comedy franchises. Ali Fazal, who is now married to Richa Chadha, was also a part of the first two installments but is not part of the new film.

Fukrey 3 had several changes in its release date

Fukrey 3 is directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba and produced under the banner of Excel Entertainment by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar. It will release in theatres on September 28. It was earlier slated to release on September 7. The slot was taken by Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan following which it was pused to December 1. When Prabhas’ Salaar, which was scheduled for September 28 release, got postponed, Fukrey 3 acquired the vacant slot.

Fukrey 3 is among Pankaj Tripathi’s several sequel projects

Besides Fukrey 3, Pankaj Tripathi mostly has sequels like Stree 2, Mirzapur 3 and Criminal Justice 4 in his kitty after his recent release OMG 2. He told PTI in an interview, “Doing sequels is easy because you know the world and character. However, at the same time it is boring, because you think, ‘How long will this carry forward, like third or fourth part’. But since it’s a success, maybe it is getting made.”
