Fans of the Hera Pheri series were already heartbroken when they found out that Paresh Rawal will not be returning as Baburao in Hera Pheri 3. Now, things have taken a dramatic turn.
Paresh Rawal recently spoke out and said his exit had nothing to do with the script or any creative fight with the team. He made it clear that there were no issues between him and the makers of the film.
But in a shocking twist, Akshay Kumar’s production company has reportedly sent a legal notice to Paresh Rawal. They are demanding ₹25 crore as compensation. The reason? His sudden exit from the project has reportedly affected the film’s shooting schedule and overall planning.
With Paresh Rawal out of the picture, fans are eager to know who will now play the iconic character of Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, also known as Babu Bhaiya. While the official name hasn’t been announced yet, here are four actors who could possibly take on the role and bring their own style to it.
1. Anil Kapoor
Anil Kapoor is full of energy and has been part of many successful comedy films like Welcome, No Entry, and Total Dhamaal. Fans still love his character Majnu Bhai from Welcome. He knows how to handle funny chaos and loud comedy, which could help him create a unique version of Baburao.
2. Johnny Lever
Johnny Lever is one of Bollywood’s best comedians. He has delivered unforgettable funny moments in films like Baazigar, Golmaal 3, and Dulhe Raja. His body language, facial expressions, and comic timing are perfect for a character like Baburao. He can definitely bring the madness that the role needs.
3. Sanjay Mishra
Sanjay Mishra is known for his simple yet strong acting skills and natural comedy. He has shined in movies like Golmaal, Dhamaal, Kaamyaab, and Vadh. His local style and funny expressions make him a great match for Baburao’s character.
4. Boman Irani
Boman Irani is famous for playing smart and funny characters. He was brilliant as Dr. Asthana in Munnabhai MBBS and as Virus in 3 Idiots. He can mix wit with charm, which could be interesting if the makers want to show a more modern or polished version of Baburao.
Final Words
Paresh Rawal’s version of Baburao is truly unforgettable. His unique way of talking, walking, and reacting gave the character a special identity. No one can replace him fully, but since Hera Pheri 3 is moving forward without him, the new actor will have a big responsibility.
These four actors are strong options, each with their own style and talent. Fans are now waiting for the makers to officially announce who will take on the iconic role of Baburao.
Until then, one question remains: Who will be the next Babu Bhaiya?
