The much-awaited comedy-drama Hera Pheri 3, headlined by Akshay Kumar, went on floors recently. However, after a day of shooting, Paresh Rawal announced his exit from the project without citing a proper reason. This led to a huge backlash around the actor. Akshay Kumar, who also is producing the film, sued Paresh Rawal for his unprofessional behaviour and claimed damages worth Rs. 25 crores.
This controversy has gathered huge momentum on social media with continuous chatter about the iconic franchise. Many felt no one could match Paresh Rawal’s portrayal of Babu Bhaiya. Fans of the franchise felt disheartened looking at the development.
The latest update reveals that Paresh Rawal is returning to Hera Pheri 3. Paresh Rawal addressed the controversy in a podcast on The Himanshu Mehta show. The Bollywood actor said, “When a project is loved by so many, it becomes a responsibility to treat it with extra care. You can’t take things for granted. It is all resolved now.”
When asked whether Hera Pheri 3 is progressing as planned, Paresh Rawal said, “It was always meant to happen. But sometimes, things need a bit of fine-tuning between everyone involved, since they are all creative individuals. Priyadarshan, Akshay, and Suniel Shetty have been my friends for many years.”
