A few days ago, veteran actor Paresh Rawal made headlines by announcing his exit from the highly anticipated film Hera Pheri 3. The news came as a shock to fans and his co-stars, Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty, alike. While initial speculation pointed towards creative differences as the reason for his departure, Paresh Rawal later clarified on social media that there were no such disagreements with the team.
Despite his clarification, several social media users criticized the actor, calling his sudden exit unprofessional. Given that Paresh Rawal’s portrayal of Babu Bhaiya is a cornerstone of the Hera Pheri franchise’s popularity, his departure triggered an emotional and intense response from fans across the internet.
According to media reports, Cape of Good Films, backed by Akshay Kumar, has taken legal action against Paresh Rawal, allegedly sending him a notice demanding Rs. 25 crores in damages.
As reported by Pinkvilla, the legal step was taken after Rawal reportedly participated in key planning and creative meetings related to Hera Pheri 3, only to walk away abruptly without a proper explanation. With Akshay Kumar receiving widespread support online for standing up for the project, all eyes are now on how Paresh Rawal will respond to the controversy and the legal notice.
