In a delightful blast from the past, actors Akshay Kumar and Gulshan Grover recently recreated their iconic "Kabira speaking" dialogue from the hit film Hera Pheri. The scene unfolded on the set of the quiz reality show "Wheel of Fortune," hosted by Kumar, where Grover appeared as a guest.
The recreation of the dialogue instantly transported the audience back to the world of Hera Pheri, a film known for its impeccable comedic timing and memorable characters. Gulshan Grover, who played the role of the antagonist Kabira in the movie, flawlessly delivered his character's famous catchphrase, leaving everyone in splits.
In the scene, Grover tells Akshay, "Kabira speaking by God, tera show dekh kar dil garden garden ho gaya. Dekho, agar show aage chalana hai na, toh 1 cr bahar nikalo". Akshay Kumar enthusiastically joined in on the act, creating a nostalgic moment for fans of the franchise. The dialogue is a reference to a scene in Hera Pheri where Kabira is threatening a character on the phone.
The upcoming episode of "Wheel of Fortune" promises to be a treat for Bollywood fans, with not only the recreation of the iconic dialogue but also the presence of Shakti Kapoor and Chunky Panday. The trio's presence added to the episode's entertainment value, delivering laugh-out-loud moments reminiscent of classic Bollywood humor.
Adding to the nostalgic atmosphere, Akshay Kumar shared an anecdote about his early days in the film industry, revealing that Chunky Panday was his senior at acting school and helped him learn acting by recreating Amitabh Bachchan scenes.
Gulshan Grover also expressed his excitement for Hera Pheri 3 on social media, reacting to the news with, "KABIRA SPEAKING … Hera Pheri3 ! Kabira is excited… let's do it".
Hera Pheri, directed by Priyadarshan, was released in 2000 and became a cult classic for its humor and memorable performances.
