Mumbai: There is something entirely different about enjoying your favourite characters from memorable films! Be it Hera Pheri, Golmaan, Gadar or even Bhediya. Indeed, these films carry incredible recall value, but selective characters from these movies compel you to get back to them! As audiences eagerly wait to see their favourite characters come back on screens, here’s looking at actors who are set to revive those characters.
Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty & Paresh Rawal - Hera Pheri 3
One of the most iconic comedy franchises, Heri Pheri, is coming back with its third installment starring the OG Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal - the iconic trio, Raju, Shyam and the unforgettable Baburao Ganpatrao Apte. The film was supposed to hit the floors this year, but the audiences will have to wait a little bit longer as filmmaker Priyadarshan confirmed that the film is not hitting the floors this year.
Sharman Joshi - Golmaal 5
Golmaal 5 is in the works with filmmaker Rohit Shetty and actor Ajay Devgn. While the audiences are curious to enjoy the comical chaos, they are eager to see Sharman Joshi revive his iconic Laxman, bringing back the character’s classic innocence and humour. The actor had won hearts in the OG Golmaal, and he’s keen to keep up with the streak with Golmaal 5.

Filmmaker Amar Kaushik had mentioned that “it won’t take long” to move ahead with Bhediya 2, which means that the audiences will get to witness the thrill, humour and loads of adventure with Varun Dhawan reviving the classic Bhaskar Sharma, and his quest in the forest. In the first installment, the actor had won hearts with a blend of comedy and Bhediya's feral adventures, and it seems like he is keen on maintaining that graph with Bhediya 2.
Sunny Deol - Gadar 3
Gadar 2 director Anil Sharma had confirmed that Gadar 3 will be made, and what’s Gadar without its signature Sunny Deol aka Tara Singh? The actor is the heart and soul of the Gadar franchise, and as the director had confirmed that the work on Gadar 3 has already begun, for audiences it’d mean more high-voltage drama, more heartfelt moments and the return of the iconic Tara Singh!
Ajay Devgn - Drishyam 3
Ajay Devgn is all set to reprise his role as Vijay Salgaonkar in Drishyam 3, scheduled for a worldwide release on October 2, 2026. The actor took audiences on a rollercoaster of suspense and thrill in the first two installments, and now, the audiences are curious to see Vijay’s trajectory in the third installment, which also brings together Tabu and Shriya Saran alongside notable actors.
