Paresh Rawal Confirms His Return to Hera Pheri 3
The wait is finally over for fans of the iconic Hera Pheri series! Veteran actor Paresh Rawal has officially confirmed his return to Hera Pheri 3, putting an end to weeks of speculation, controversy, and uncertainty. In a recent podcast with Himanshu Mehta, Rawal assured fans that all issues surrounding the project have been resolved, and the much-loved original trio—Paresh Rawal, Akshay Kumar, and Suniel Shetty—will reunite on screen.
The Confirmation: “Yes, I’m Back!”
When asked directly about his participation in Hera Pheri 3, Paresh Rawal responded with a simple but emphatic, “Yes.” This confirmation came as a huge relief to fans who had been anxiously following developments around the film. Rawal explained that while there were some bumps along the way, the team has now “fine-tuned” themselves and is ready to deliver a film worthy of the franchise’s legacy.
No Controversy, Just Care for the Audience
Addressing the so-called controversy surrounding Hera Pheri 3, Rawal clarified that there was never any real conflict. “There’s no controversy,” he said. “When people have loved something so much, you have to be extra careful. It’s our responsibility toward the audience.” The actor emphasized the importance of putting in hard work and ensuring that the film lives up to the expectations set by its predecessors.
Rawal’s words reflect a deep respect for the audience that has supported the Hera Pheri series for over two decades. His commitment to quality and his desire to reunite with his co-stars and director Priyadarshan were clear throughout his conversation.
The Legal Drama: A Bumpy Road to Resolution
The journey to Hera Pheri 3 wasn’t without its challenges. Earlier this year, Paresh Rawal’s sudden exit from the film made headlines, with reports suggesting creative differences as the reason. Rawal took to social media to clarify that his departure was not due to creative disagreements with director Priyadarshan, whom he holds in high regard.
However, the situation escalated when Akshay Kumar’s production house sent a legal notice to Rawal, claiming he had been paid Rs 11 lakh as partial payment for the project and had already shot promotional material. The production house sought Rs 25 crore in damages and threatened further legal action.
Rawal’s legal team responded by stating that the actor had returned the Rs 11 lakh, along with 15% interest, and that all contractual obligations had been fulfilled. Rawal himself posted on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “My lawyer, Ameet Naik, has sent an appropriate response regarding my rightful termination and exit. Once they read my response all issues will be laid to rest.”
Akshay Kumar’s Support: Friends First, Co-Stars Second
Despite the legal wrangling, Akshay Kumar publicly defended his longtime friend and co-star. At the trailer launch of Housefull 5, Akshay was asked about fans’ disappointment over Rawal’s exit from Hera Pheri 3. He firmly stated that it was “not right” to call Rawal “foolish” and expressed his admiration for the veteran actor.
“Using this kind of word for one of my co-stars like ‘foolish’ or something—I would not appreciate it, and that’s not right,” Akshay said. “I worked with him for the last 30-35 years, we are very good friends. He’s a great actor and I really admire him.” Akshay also clarified that the legal matter was being handled professionally and should not affect their personal relationship.
The Future: What to Expect from Hera Pheri 3
With Paresh Rawal back on board, Hera Pheri 3 is set to bring back the magic of the original cast. The film will reunite Rawal, Akshay Kumar, and Suniel Shetty, with Priyadarshan at the helm. The trio’s chemistry and comic timing have been the hallmark of the franchise, and fans can expect more laughter, chaos, and unforgettable moments.
Rawal hinted that the team took extra time to “fine-tune” the script and ensure that the film meets the high standards set by the previous installments. “All of them are creative, be it Priyadarshan, Akshay, or Suniel. They are friends for many, many, many years,” he said, highlighting the strong bond between the cast and crew.
