Mumbai: Hera Pheri 3, the much-anticipated third installment of the iconic comedy franchise, has reportedly been put on hold following the sudden exit of veteran actor Paresh Rawal. The development has shocked fans and the film's crew alike, with Akshay Kumar allegedly filing a ₹25 crore lawsuit against Rawal for breach of contract. Paresh Rawal, best known for his beloved role as Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, confirmed his departure from the film on social media but has not yet revealed the reason behind his decision. Suniel Shetty, who reprises his role in the franchise, expressed deep disappointment over the news. “We’ve already shot the trailer. I don’t know what happened. Paresh ji is not someone who would usually make such announcements on public platforms,” Shetty said, recalling his phone call to Rawal, who instead asked to meet in person. Shetty revealed the actor appeared enthusiastic during the trailer shoot and emphasized how vital Rawal’s character is to the film. “Hera Pheri 3 without Baburao is unimaginable. He is the soul of the franchise,” Shetty stated, calling the situation “heartbreaking.” With Rawal maintaining silence after his initial announcement, the future of Hera Pheri 3 remains uncertain. Fans are left wondering whether the iconic trio can be reunited — or if the franchise has met an unexpected and unfortunate pause.
