The film’s dialogue writer Farhad Samji, in a special conversation, told about his writing process and the way of designing the character. He also told whether there is any plan to make ‘Welcome 4’ or not.
In a recent conversation with Pinkvilla, Farhad Samji opened up about ‘Welcome to the Jungle’, ‘Hera Pheri 3’, and ‘Welcome 4’. During this he was asked whether ‘Hera Pheri 3’ would be made now or not. Along with this, Farhad Samji also gave his opinion on the return of Uday and Majnu pair in ‘Welcome 4’.
Update on Welcome 4?
When Farhad Samji was asked that with the success of ‘Welcome to the Jungle’, has the discussion on ‘Welcome 4’ started? On this question, he said, “Right now Welcome to the Jungle is on, and we are just enjoying this moment. However, there are discussions whenever you make a sequel, you throw around ideas. Be it Housefull, Golmaal, or Welcome, all the franchises for which I have written and worked, there is a discussion from one date that we do it in the next. So something. The ideas are already there, even for Welcome 4. So let the learning process sink in, what can be better and then everything will hit the mark when we find the right pitch to bat on.
Ujay Majnu in Welcome 4?
When the writer was asked would you like to bring back Uday and Majnu for ‘Welcome 4’ with Akshay Kumar? So on this question, Farhad Samji said, “Anybody would like that, anytime. We miss them a lot in ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ too. So, it would be great if Uday and Majnu are seen in ‘Welcome 4’ too, although as I said, it is too early to talk about it. I would say to both of them, “You are Welcome.”
What did you say on Hera Pheri 3?
While talking on Hera Pheri 3, Farhad Samji said, “Firoz Nadiadwala sir will tell you about the updates of Hera Pheri. Talking about my other projects, everything is going on in full swing but obviously I will share it with you only when there is an official announcement. I had given a song in the film Munna Bhai, ‘Lage Raho Munna Bhai’. Then Raju Hirani ji and I had a talk that this film is in line. It is important to do only one thing – and I have been doing the same for years, so that I get respect for my work.”
