/> The king of comedy Anees Bazmee is soon to wrap up another comedy ‘No Problem' with Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgn, Sushmita Sen and Kangna Ranaut. After this he is all set to move on to his next two projects ‘Hera Pheri Part 4' and ‘Thank You' both with Akshay Kumar in the lead.

While ‘Hera Pheri Part 4' celebrates the return of the characters conceived by Priyadarshan with the Big B added into the comic brew to make the concoction spicy; ‘Thank You' which brings Akshay back together with his hit heroine Katrina Kaif is supposed to be Anees Bazmee's most intense romantic film to date.

Even though Anees is keen on getting into the romantic mode apparently Anees's leading man Akshay is eager on doing a comedy.

Says Anees, "Comedy is what sells these days. To make people laugh is a blessing and I've done it repeatedly without resorting to vulgarity. The script is ready.

And this time apart from the regular ‘Hera Pheri' cast of Akshay, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal I've also written a special role for Amitji who plays the catalyst in this comedy. It's every director's dream to work with Amitji and I'm no exception."

Having said this however, Anees doesn't want to get stereotyped as a comedy maker, "I've been in the business of writing and directing for more than 30 years.

Apart from comedies I've done some really romantic films like ‘Pyar To Hona Hi Tha' and ‘It's My Life' which is ready for release. Produced by UTV ‘Thank You' is my most romantic subject to date which brings Akshay and Katrina together again."

Though Anees wants to first start with ‘Thank You' the pressure on the pasha of parody to do another comedy is high. And ‘Hera Pheri Part 4' is certainly on the cards. A final decision is expected after seeing the box office results of Priyadarshan's ‘De Dana Dan'. If that film turns out to be a money spinner, Anees would just have to start ‘Hera Pheri Part 4' first.

"I'm fine with that, " says Anees. "I loved the first ‘Hera Pheri' film by Priyanji. But I must confess that I didn't like the second one (‘Phir Hera Pheri' directed by Neeraj Vora) that much."

Chuckling on why the series has skipped the third segment and moved to the fourth Anees says, "Actually there's an explanation in ‘Hera Pheri Part 4' as to why Part 3 is missing. Just wait and see."
