It’s not clear whether Kumar has backed out or not. But this is how his fans reacted to the tweet:

However, Kumar could pull the plug on the film and other franchises like Welcome and Awara Paagal Deewana, as per a report by Pinkvilla. A source told the portal, “Hera Pheri, Welcome, and Awara Pagal Deewana are three of the most loved franchises led by Akshay Kumar, and he was quite keen to revisit the iconic films. However, after several rounds of meetings, he has decided to take a step back, as he couldn’t align with the broad script ideas.”

It added, “Akshay Kumar is well aware of his fans’ expectations of him in these comedy franchises. He refused to compromise on the quality of these scripts, as attempts to remake these sequels without proper thought and with other actors have already failed in the past.”
