If you’re a true fan of the Hera Pheri franchise, you definitely remember how the second film ended in a full-blown circus act. Ironically, the third part of the beloved comedy series seems to be starting in a very similar way—except this time, the circus is off-screen! Before Hera Pheri 3 even begins filming properly, it’s already surrounded by chaos, confusion, and a whole lot of drama.
Paresh Rawal Walks Out of Hera Pheri 3
The biggest shocker for fans is that Paresh Rawal, who famously played the iconic character Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, has reportedly walked out of the film. Yes, the same actor who made us all laugh with his classic “Utha le re baba!” line has now pulled a similar move in real life by quitting the film after confirming his return publicly.
His decision to back out has not just disappointed fans, but also triggered serious consequences—possibly even legal ones. Reports are doing the rounds that Akshay Kumar might sue Paresh Rawal for breaching the contract. While some sources say Paresh had already shot a 3-minute scene, others claim he never even reached the set. On top of that, rumors about his ₹15 crore fee and a ₹11 lakh signing amount are also adding fuel to the fire.
A Hype-Building Disaster
If all of this was meant to create buzz and excitement for Hera Pheri 3, it’s safe to say that it’s backfiring badly. The confusion and controversies have only damaged the brand of the franchise. Some fans even feel this is a “masterclass” in how not to build hype for a much-awaited film. And with all the behind-the-scenes drama now trending, the movie is making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
Despite all the mess, Hera Pheri 3 has managed to make it onto IMDb’s list of most anticipated movies. But one can’t help but wonder if it’s because of the comedy or the chaos!
Golmaal in the Making?
With so much happening, fans are joking that they should rename Hera Pheri 3 to Golmaal because the real-life drama is more confusing than any film script. In a recent interview with Mid Day, Paresh Rawal said, “It is final for the time being. I always say never say never for anything.” His statement makes it even more unclear whether he’s completely done with the film or just taking a break.
Adding to the drama, there are fresh reports suggesting Akshay Kumar has filed a ₹25 crore lawsuit against Paresh Rawal for backing out. It’s becoming harder and harder to know what’s real and what’s just another rumor.
Suniel Shetty Stuck in the Middle
In all this chaos, Suniel Shetty, who plays Shyam in the film, seems as lost as his character often is. He’s been caught in the middle of all this legal and casting drama, and fans can’t help but feel bad for him.
If the makers still plan to go ahead without Baburao, fans are already feeling nervous. The magic of Hera Pheri lies in the chemistry between Raju (Akshay Kumar), Shyam (Suniel Shetty), and Baburao (Paresh Rawal). Without one of them, it just won’t be the same.
So if the movie is still happening, one thing’s for sure: Mera to aisa dhak dhak ho rela hai.
