20th Anniversary of Hera Pheri - An Interview with Suniel Shetty2 of 3
IMDb: You just spoke about that how two action heroes, Akshay Kumar and you, worked on a comedy movie. When you saw the script, what drew you to the role?
Suniel Shetty: I've worked on Hera Pheri and Yeh Teraa Ghar, Yeh Meraa Ghar with Priyadarshan. I knew Priyan sir was a riot when it came to this genre. I switched over to to comedy because I knew the kind of films he produced and his sense of comedy was brilliant. After this movie, Akshay and I worked on Awara Pagal Deewana.
Also, you were less conscious at that time, I guess. Because for comedy, I don’t think anybody cared about how they looked. The thing was because we dictated style; style didn’t dictate us! Brands didn’t dictate us to tell us what to wear.
