Mrighdeep Singh Lamba’s Fukrey films are one of the most loved franchises of Bollywood.
The third installment of the franchise was announced last year in September, and the Fukrey fans can’t wait for more updates on the same.
Just like the previous films Fukrey 3 will feature Ali Fazal, Richa Chadha, Varun Sharma, Pulkit Samrat, Manjot Singh and Pankaj Tripathi. It rolls from April.
Talking about the same Mrighdeep told Pinkvilla, “We are very excited. We will start shooting in early April, so we are just two months away now. Presently the prep is going on and we are in the process of finalizing the locations and the remaining of the cast. Like always, the film is set in Delhi and 90 percent of it will be shot there.”
This is the first time that a Fukrey film will be shot abroad. “We haven’t decided on where exactly we will be shooting internationally as yet, but we are definitely going abroad with Fukrey 3,” says the filmmaker.
“With the first film turning into a second part and the second into third, your stakes become high and the scale becomes bigger. But the fun, humour and nuances remain similar to Fukrey 1 as the characters are the same. So it’s just how they start seeing other areas in their own Fukra way and what chaos they bring into those areas is what Fukrey 3 is all about. It’s a continuation of part 2 and we have already finished scripting,” added Lamba.
“There are a lot of layers in the film this time. We can’t repeat what we did in part 1 and part 2, so in terms of the story and events there are new problems that come in front of them and how they solve it is the story. It’s a step ahead from what 1 and 2 were,” Mrighdeep concluded.
New additions will also be made to the lead cast this time.
