Paresh Rawal to return in Hera Pheri 3? Actor's positive tweet gives new twist to controversy
Paresh Rawal's portrayal of the quirky and iconic Baburao in Hera Pheri made him a fan favourite, with the original film achieving cult status over the years. While the buzz around Hera Pheri 3 had fans excited to see the beloved trio—Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal—reunite, Paresh's sudden exit from the project left many disappointed. Now, the veteran actor has addressed a fan's emotional plea for his return, and his response has sparked a flurry of reactions online.

On Monday, a fan tagged Paresh and wrote on X (formerly Twitter), 'Sir, please think 🤔🤔 once again about joining the Hera Pheri movie 🍿. You are the hero of this movie.' Replying to him, the veteran actor wrote, 'NO… There are Three Heroes in Hera Pheri,' referring to himself, Akshay, and Suniel.
Fans reacted to Paresh's comment with heartfelt messages. One of them wrote, 'Those three heroes are not equivalent to you, sir.' Another commented, 'Motabhai, I like your stand; this is how you maintain your professional reputation.' One more user added, 'Sir, Hera Pheri without you is unimaginable! Please come back and bless us with your unforgettable comic genius once again. The trio is incomplete without our beloved Baburao!' While some also thought it's just PR and he would return to the franchise soon.
After Paresh confirmed his exit from Hera Pheri 3, rumours circulated about creative differences between him and the makers of the film. However, Paresh dismissed such speculation. Later, in an interview with Mid-Day, he revealed the real reason behind his decision and said, 'I know it came as a shock to many. We three make a great combination with Priyadarshanji directing us, but the fact is that I opted out because today I don't feel like a part of it. It is final for the time being. I always say 'never say never' for anything. One cannot predict what happens in the future.'
The film's director Priyadarshan told the same publication that Paresh didn't inform anyone before taking the decision and revealed that contracts had already been signed and a promo had even been shot. He also shared that Akshay had tears in his eyes after Paresh announced his exit from the film.
Soon after Paresh's departure, reports emerged that Akshay—the film's lead and producer—was planning to sue the veteran actor for breach of trust. 'I think there will be severe legal consequences. It's of course hurt the franchise. We have written to him letting him know that there are a lot of legal consequences involved. There have been expenses incurred towards the cast, the crew, leading senior actors, logistics, equipment, and shooting of the trailer,' Pooja Tidke, Joint Managing Partner of Parinam Law Associates, which represents Kumar's banner, told PTI.
While it remains unclear whether Akshay, Suniel, and Priyadarshan will proceed with Hera Pheri 3 without Paresh, fans have made one thing clear—they don't want the film without Baburao.

The learnings from Babu ji, my revered father .. an eternal gift for my living and learning .. my gratitude and my affection."

Play Button Blunder: Apple's Liquid Glass Teaser Turns Into Instant Meme Fest
Last Updated: Apple has created a new design interface language called Liquid Glass. Apple has introduced Liquid Glass, its most dramatic design revamp since the launch of iOS 7. The company claims the update is meant to make the user experience feel 'more expressive and delightful." The redesign has sparked a wave of memes online. Users on X (formerly Twitter) couldn't help but poke fun at a YouTube video thumbnail about the update, where the play button's placement accidentally made the title look like it said 'Liquid A**" instead of 'Liquid Glass." The amusing glitch quickly went viral. 'Very unfortunate play button," joked a user on X while posting a screenshot that highlighted the awkward positioning of YouTube's red play/pause icon. Check the post here: The post has already racked up more than 1.5 million views. Highlighting the same mishap, another user commented, 'It's absolutely wild that Apple's social media intern didn't proofread the Liquid Glass YouTube thumbnail on all devices." As more social media users began catching on to the blunder and sharing their reactions, Apple eventually updated the thumbnail to fix the issue and prevent further confusion or jokes. oh my god i can't believe they actually changed it — juan (@juanbuis) June 10, 2025 Just hours after unveiling its latest software at WWDC 2025 in California, Apple rolled out the iOS 26 developer beta update. The company has created a new design interface language called Liquid Glass that functions similarly to glass in the real world. Its colour changes automatically between light and dark surroundings based on the material around it. It is now available for developers to test and fine-tune their apps ahead of its official release later this year. Given that it is still in its testing phase, there may be glitches, and the program itself may feel shaky, particularly in the early iterations. Installing the beta software is not recommended for users who use the device daily. According to Apple's announcement, the new UI feature covers even the smallest components that users interact with, such as text, buttons, switches, sliders, tab bars, and sidebars for app navigation. The new design works on iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe 26, watchOS 26, and tvOS 26 for now. First Published:
