In an emotional twist, Paresh Rawal has confirmed he won’t be part of ‘Hera Pheri 3’. The veteran actor played the iconic Baburao in the beloved comedy franchise. His absence leaves fans shocked and disappointed. ‘Hera Pheri 3’ has been in the making for years, with several directors and actors coming on board. Earlier, Kartik Aaryan was attached to the project, then Akshay Kumar left the project and came back on board. Finally, last year, it was finalised that all three original cast members were coming back for the third instalment. However, Paresh Rawal has confirmed his exit from the film.
Baburao says goodbye to ‘Hera Pheri’
Rawal shared the news on Twitter, stating, “There are no creative disagreements with the filmmaker.” He expressed love and respect for director Priyadarshan. Despite this, a source told Bollywood Hungama that creative differences led to his exit. Rawal also confirmed the news in a brief statement. In a recent interview, he said Baburao became a “gale ka fanda,” hinting at being typecast. Baburao remains a pop culture icon, loved for his quirks and catchphrases. Fans now wonder who will fill his shoes and how the story will unfold without him.
I wish to put it on record that my decision to step away from Hera Pheri 3 was not due to creative differences. I REITERATE THAT THERE ARE NO CREATIVE DISAGREEMENT WITH THE FILM MAKER . I hold immense love, respect, and faith in Mr. Priyadarshan the film director.
