However, a big and surprising news has come out about this movie. Veteran actor Paresh Rawal has announced that he has left the film. Everyone was surprised by Paresh Rawal’s decision, who played Babu Bhai in Hera Pheri. The actor himself confirmed the news through a tweet on his X account.
Shooting started in April itself
Akshay, Sunil and Paresh also started shooting for the film under Priyadarshan’s direction in April this year. Recently, Akshay Kumar has bought the rights of Hera Ferry 3 from producer Feroz Nadiadwala. However, Paresh Rawal also clarified in his tweet that he is not leaving the film due to any differences or money issue between him and the producers. According to reports, Paresh is being paid more than three times than his normal fees.
Talking about Paresh Rawal, even before this, he refused many big films like Oh My God 2 in 2023. During that time he claimed that he did not like the script. In the year 2009, he left Shah Rukh Khan after Billu Barbar. Priyadarshan was also directing that film.
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.
