In the 2000s, Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Suniel Shetty were known as a terrific trio. Whenever they came together, they took the box office by storm. Akshay, Suniel, and Paresh's first on-screen outing was Mohra (1994), but the film was an action thriller. The three actors became audiences' favourite trio when they came for Priyadarshan's Hera Pheri (2000).
Ever since the comedy blockbuster, makers cast them in different films, and they proved to be a lucky trio. Films like Awara Paagal Deewana (2002), Phir Hera Pheri (2006), and De Dana Dan (2009) were examples of when they brought the house down with laughter. However, there was a film of these actors that failed commercially. The film was mounted on a big scale, it had a funny script and hilarious one-liners. Producers did not leave any stone unturned in promoting this film. The film had a good pre-release buzz, but sadly, when the movie was released, it became a box office flop.
The film of Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal that flopped is...
Deewane Huye Paagal, Vikram Bhatt-directed rom-com had the best of the cast, including Akshay, Paresh, and Suniel, with Shahid Kapoor, Rimi Sen, Vijay Raaz, Johnny Lever, Asrani, and the late Om Puri. Aftab Shivdasani and Vivek Oberoi also made guest appearances.
Deewane Huye Paagal is based on...
The ensemble comedy entertainer is the unofficial remake of the Hollywood classic, There's Something About Mary (1998), with some changes in the script. Initially, people thought that Deewane Huye Paagal was a sequel to Awara Paagal Deewana. However, there was no connection between the two, except for the repetition of the cast members.
