Paresh Rawal Confirms Hera Pheri 3 Will Definitely Be Made
The iconic Hera Pheri franchise, featuring the unforgettable trio of Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal, continues to hold a special place in Bollywood history and Indian pop culture. However, since the announcement of the third installment, the project has faced numerous delays and controversies that have left fans wondering about its fate.
Technical Dispute Between Akshay Kumar and Makers Causing Delay
During a recent appearance on The Lavari Show, National Award-winning actor Paresh Rawal addressed the swirling rumors about Hera Pheri 3. The Padma Shri recipient firmly stated that the film is very much on track and will definitely be made, dismissing speculation about its cancellation.
Rawal clarified that the delay is not due to any personal issues on his part but stems from a technical disagreement between Akshay Kumar and the film's producers. He emphasized that once this matter is resolved, he is ready to sign on for the project immediately.
Dismissing Legal Rumors as "Kachva Chaap Agarbatti"
Addressing reports about legal troubles, including claims that Akshay Kumar had sued him for Rs 25 crores, Rawal dismissed these as exaggerated rumors. He humorously compared the situation to "kachva chaap agarbatti" (tortoise-marked incense sticks), suggesting the stories have been blown out of proportion and lack substance.
The veteran actor made it clear that his participation in Hera Pheri 3 depends entirely on the resolution of the technical dispute between Kumar and the producers. "So, it's simple, if this gets resolved between the two, I will sign the papers," Rawal stated confidently.
Babu Rao's Essential Role in the Franchise
Reiterating the importance of his beloved character, Rawal emphasized that Babu Rao remains crucial to the Hera Pheri essence. "But even at the cost of modesty, I am saying that if they're going with the idea of doing Hera Pheri without Babu Rao, then it will be a disaster," he quipped, highlighting how integral his character has become to the franchise's identity.
Rawal expressed strong confidence that the film will eventually move forward, stating, "Nothing to do with me, but it will happen 100%." His comments provide reassurance to fans who have been eagerly awaiting the return of the iconic comedy franchise that first captured hearts decades ago.
The Hera Pheri series has maintained its popularity through:
- Memorable characters that have become cultural icons
- Timeless comedy that continues to resonate with audiences
- A unique chemistry between the three lead actors
- Quotable dialogues that remain part of everyday conversations
As the entertainment industry watches closely, the resolution of this technical dispute will determine when production can finally begin on what promises to be one of Bollywood's most anticipated sequels.
