Actors Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Gulshan Grover turned nostalgic as their super-hit comedy Hera Pheri completed 21 years on Wednesday, 31 March.
The Priyadarshan directorial had opened on March 31, 2000.
"No wonder we underestimate how quickly time flies. It seems I blinked, and 21 years went by. What a film we made @priyadarshandir @akshaykumar @SirPareshRawal @GulshanGroverGG #Tabu. Missing #OmPuri ji very dearly today," Suniel Shetty tweeted.
Commenting on Suniel's tweet, Akshay Kumar wrote: "Agreed! Even we didn't know back then what a film we were making, each scene better than the other. Specially love this one: dhoti. Genius of Priyan sir and epic dialogues by late Neeraj Vora."
Actor Gulshan Grover, who was also a part of the cast, tweeted: "21 years of #Herapheri , what a film by director Priyadarshan @priyadarshandir Producer #firozNadiadwala and brilliant actors @akshaykumar @SunielVShetty @SirPareshRawal #Tabu #Asrani ji , late #OmPuri ji and #KabiraSpeaking."
Hera Pheri was followed by a sequel titled Phir Hera Pheri in 2006, and talks of a third film in the series keeps happening off and on.
