The franchise began in 2000 with Hera Pheri, a remake of the Malayalam hit Ramji Rao Speaking, which was met with widespread acclaim.

Its sequel, Phir Hera Pheri, released in 2006, also went on to achieve commercial success, cementing the series as a cult favourite.

In addition to this, Priyadarshan has joined hands with Paresh and Akshay for another project, "Bhooth Bangla." Apart from them, the drama will also see Wamiqa Gabbi, Tabu, Rajpal Yadav, and Govardhan Asrani in significant roles.

Backed by Ekta Kapoor, "Bhooth Bangla" is scheduled to reach the audience on April 2, 2026.
