The post comes in the light of the ongoing tiff between Paresh and Akshay Kumar, following the former's exit from the third installment in the franchise, Hera Pheri 3.
The controversy erupted after reports started doing the rounds that Paresh had walked out of Hera Pheri 3. After this, Akshay's production banner, Cape of Good Films, which is backing the project, filed a lawsuit against Paresh of Rs. 25 crores for abruptly quitting the drama.
Meanwhile, a source close to Paresh questioned the film's original producer, Firoz Nadiadwala's silence in the matter.
A source close to Paresh told IANS, 'Let's not forget, 'OMG' was a film Paresh ji helped develop from the ground up, adapted from a play he had performed for years. When it came to producing the film, he didn't blink. He placed his trust in Akshay Kumar out of deep love, respect, and, above all, faith. That bond has always been strong. Years later, OMG 2 came along, and this is where the truth gets blurry. Paresh ji had developed that story from scratch, with the intent of making it a standalone film. It was not meant to be OMG 2. But somewhere along the way, the script he shaped was rebranded into a franchise sequel. The role was written for him. The story was his. And yet, he chose to walk away quietly, gracefully. He didn't fight it. He didn't stop it. He didn't sue.'

The show lived up to its name with non-stop betrayals, contestants double-crossing their alliances, their gang Leaders, and even their closest bonds. Gullu talks about winning MTV Roadies XX Ecstatic about winning MTV Roadies XX, Gullu said, "Winning MTV Roadies Double Cross wasn't just a title — it was a silent scream finally heard. There was no support, no guiding hand, no one to lift me when I was down. I went through it all alone. This win is more than a trophy. It's a symbol — for every person who's ever felt alone, who's ever been told they're not enough. I walked this path by myself, but I never gave up. And that's what this victory is: not fame, not glory — but proof that even when you have nothing, you can still become everything." Gullu's journey in MTV Roadies XX From being picked in a fierce bidding war by Elvish Yadav to forming one of the most heartfelt bonds of the season, Gullu's journey was a rollercoaster. After his elimination mid-season, he made a stunning return in Gautam Gulati's gang, only to double-cross him and rejoin Elvish for the grand finale. His calculated moves, intense performances, and emotional vulnerability made him a force to reckon with. In a breathtaking finale challenge that pushed physical limits and mental strength, Gullu beat Hartaj and Rishabh, with mere seconds separating the champions from the rest. Elvish Yadav and Rannvijay Singha talk about Gullu's victory Gang leader Elvish Yadav, proud of his protégé, added, "From Day 1, I saw fire in Gullu. He didn't just win tasks, he won hearts. His journey defines what Roadies Double Cross is all about — unpredictability, loyalty, and passion. I couldn't have asked for a better gang member in my debut season!" MTV Roadies XX host Rannvijay Singha shared, "This season had it all - drama, betrayal, redemption, and a finale that kept us on the edge. Gullu's journey reminded everyone why Roadies isn't just a show, it's a battleground of transformation. Hats off to every contestant and Gang Leader who made this 20th season one for the history books!"
