The much-awaited comedy sequel Hera Pheri 3 has hit yet another roadblock. According to strong rumors, veteran actor Paresh Rawal has reportedly quit the film. This news has left fans extremely disappointed, especially since his character Babu Rao Ganpatrao Apte is considered the heart of the Hera Pheri franchise.
Why Did Paresh Rawal Quit Hera Pheri 3?
As per reports, Paresh Rawal left the project due to creative differences with the team. While the exact reasons have not been officially revealed, sources claim that disagreements over the script and character development may be the reason behind his exit.
This news comes at a time when fans were already anxious about the film’s progress. Earlier, there were controversies around Akshay Kumar stepping away from the film due to differences with producer Firoz Nadiadwala. While Kartik Aaryan was briefly announced as a replacement, fans heavily criticized the move, leading to efforts to bring Akshay back into the fold.
Director Priyadarshan reportedly tried hard to reunite the original trio—Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal—for the third part of the beloved comedy series. While things looked positive for a while, Paresh Rawal’s exit has once again pushed the film into uncertainty.
Fans Are Heartbroken Over Paresh Rawal’s Exit
As expected, the news has not gone down well with fans. Social media platform X (formerly Twitter) is flooded with reactions, and the hashtag #NoPareshRawalNoHeraPheri is trending. Fans believe that Hera Pheri cannot exist without Babu Rao, and many are even asking the makers to cancel the film altogether.
One user wrote, “Heard that Paresh Rawal is no longer part of Hera Pheri 3. If that’s true, there’s no point in making the movie. It’s incomplete without him.”
Another fan tweeted, “Instead of ruining such an iconic and entertaining franchise, they should call it off. The main three characters cannot be changed.”
A third comment read, “Script must be really bad. Not surprising.”
Someone else added, “Babu Rao is the SOUL of Hera Pheri. Can’t imagine the movie without him. Hope the makers rethink this.”
Many other comments simply declared, “Flop hoga,” or “It’s not even Hera Pheri without Babu Rao.”
Is There Still Hope for Hera Pheri 3?
Despite the backlash, fans are still hoping that the makers of Hera Pheri 3 can sort things out and convince Paresh Rawal to return. The chemistry between Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal made the original films timeless classics. Without one of them, especially Babu Rao, fans feel the third part will lose its charm.
For now, nothing has been officially confirmed by the actor or the production team. But the fan reactions make one thing clear—Hera Pheri 3 without Paresh Rawal is not acceptable to the audience.
