The unexpected announcement of Paresh Rawal’s withdrawal from Hera Pheri 3 took both fans and the film industry by surprise. While the official reason for his exit was initially unclear, a new report has now shed light on what might have led to the veteran actor’s decision to step away from the highly anticipated project.
According to a report, Paresh Rawal had already signed the contract for Hera Pheri 3, accepted the signing amount, and was even paid more than his standard fee. He was actively involved in the film’s pre-production phase, attending important meetings and contributing to key discussions. However, things reportedly took a turn when the actor demanded an additional payment, leading to his abrupt exit from the franchise.
“Mr. Paresh is a veteran actor, and we’ve had the pleasure of working with him on several projects. However, this behaviour seems unprofessional and was completely unexpected from someone of his stature,” a source close to the production house told the news agency.
While fans continue to express disappointment and confusion over Rawal’s departure—particularly given the iconic status of his character, Baburao Ganpatrao Apte—this latest development adds a new layer to the ongoing saga surrounding Hera Pheri 3. As speculation swirls, the production team remains tight-lipped, and the future of the film continues to hang in the balance.
