Kumar went on to express his gratitude to his co-stars for their presence, adding, “The event saw young champions giving it their all, learning valuable lessons in teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship. And all this in the presence of our very own Babu bhaiya, @pareshrawalofficial and Shyam, @suniel.shetty who made the event extremely special, thank you.”
Suniel Shetty also shared photos from the event on Instagram, clarifying the nature of their reunion. “The Dhoom Dhadaka Orchestra is Back!!! But no Hera Pheri this time. Just all out Kudo Action!” he wrote, dispelling any rumors about the highly-anticipated sequel.
Kumar, Shetty, and Paresh Rawal first starred together in 2000’s Hera Pheri and later reprised their roles in the 2006 sequel, Phir Hera Pheri.
