Sudden departure from Paresh Rawal’s third installment of ‘Hera Fari’ franchise shook the film industry and fans. After the report of Akshay Kumar sued Paresh Rawal for unfair departure,
Rawal shared an update on 25 May, stating that his lawyer sent the film from the film to the makers “proper” about the termination and exit. For his X handle, the actor wrote, “My lawyer, Amit Naik has sent a reasonable response to my correct termination.
While speculation initially suggested creative differences as the reason behind his decision, Paresh Rawal addressed these rumors in a public statement.
Taking this X handle, the ‘Hera Far’ actor wrote, “I want to put it on record that my decision to move away from Hera Ferri 3 was not due to creative difference,” he wrote on X, “I repeat that there is no creative disagreement with the filmmaker.

He said that after hearing the news, he was left “completely heartbroken”. “I mean, this is a complete shock for me, and I am here because I heard it yesterday, and today, some more news came. So, I need to call and find out, and I am completely heartbroken because if there was a film, I was looking ahead, this Hera Feri, you know,” Shetty said.
Sunil also made it clear that he feels that a third installment cannot be done without ‘Babu Bhia’. “This cannot happen.” Paresh Rawal cannot be 100 percent. Without me and Akshay, this can be an A1 percent chance, but 100% cannot be without Paresh ji. No, it’s not. Raju and Shyam, if they do not hit the hammer by Bab here, they said it is not, “he said.
Paresh Rawal played Shyam in Hera Pheri, while Akshay Kumar donated Raju’s character, and Paresh Rawal played the role of Baburao in the film. (AI)
