If the latest buzz is to be believed, Abhishek Bachchan replaced Irrfan Khan in the third instalment of 'Hera Pheri' at the last minute. Apparently, Irrfan, in spite of being unwell, shot for an audio visual that was to be shown at the film's mahurat. However, an insider reveals that the makers felt that Abhishek will be better suited for the role considering his pairing with John Abraham was appreciated in 'Dostana', and brought the actor on board.

Abhishek, sources say, was initially hesitant about taking up the project but agreed after John Abraham convinced him during a meeting with director Neeraj Vora.
