Paresh Rawal returns to 'Hera Pheri 3': It is all resolved now
In May this year, Rawal had announced his exit from the third part, which would have reunited him with franchise co-stars Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty as well as filmmaker Priyadarshan. The news had come as a huge shock to the ardent fanbase of the hit comedy franchise.
What followed was a lawsuit filed by Akshay, who is also the producer on the project through his company Cape of Good Films.
Rawal has now joined back the movie, an announcement he made during his recent appearance on a podcast.
"Pehle bhi aane hi waali thi , but it's just that we had to fine-tune ourselves. After all, all of them are creative, be it Priyadarshan, Akshay or Suniel. They are friends for many, many, many years," Rawal said on Himanshu Mehta's podcast.
The veteran actor also said there is no "controversy", referring to Akshay's lawsuit, which sought ₹ 25 crore in damages.
"I believe that when people have loved something so much, then you have to be extra careful. It is our responsibility toward the audience. The audience has given you so much adulation.
"You can't take things for granted. Mehnat karke unko do. So, I was of the opinion that sab saath mein aaye, mehnat kare . Aur kuch nahin . It is all resolved now," he added.
Directed by Priyadarshan, "Hera Pheri" released in 2000 and revolved around a quirky, kind-hearted garage owner Baburao Ganpatrao Apte , a cunning loafer Raju and a struggling pauper Shyam .
The trio returned with a sequel "Phir Hera Pheri" in 2006, which was directed by Neeraj Vora.

Made for Rs 7 crore, earned Rs 65 crore, Akshay Kumar's upcoming film is a remake of this 9-year-old blockbuster, actors are..., movie name is...
After a gap of 17 years, Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar are set to share screen space once again. According to reports, Priyadarshan will direct Haivan, with filming expected to begin in August. This time, Akshay will shed his hero image to play a menacing villain, while Saif will take on the role of a blind man — but one who's an expert in the ancient martial art, Kalari Payattu. Where have we seen this story before? Not many know that Haivan is the official Hindi remake of the 2016 Malayalam hit Oppam, also directed by Priyadarshan. Starring Mohanlal, the original was made on a modest budget of Rs 7 crore but went on to earn Rs 65 crore, becoming the third-highest-grossing Malayalam film of that year. The Hindi dubbed version, Prime Witness, had a limited theatrical run but received a positive response from audiences. What's the plot of Oppam? The story revolves around a retired judge trying to protect his daughter from a criminal he once sentenced. When the judge is murdered, his trusted aide, a visually impaired man, takes on the responsibility of safeguarding her from the killer. The film's gripping narrative earned it over 22 awards, including Best Film, Best Actor, and Best Director. It remains freely available on YouTube, where thousands have revisited its tense storytelling. Why is Haivan already in the buzz? With Priyadarshan reuniting with both Akshay and Saif, and with a proven hit story at its core, Haivan has all the makings of a high-stakes action thriller. The unusual character arcs, a blind martial arts expert and a ruthless antagonist promise something different from the usual Bollywood fare.
