Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'Hera Pheri' phone number (022-2756-0400) became so iconic that real Mumbai residents with similar numbers reportedly received prank calls for years.
Akshay Kumar was initially reluctant to play Raju, fearing the goofy role would damage his action-hero image. It became his most beloved performance.
