Suniel Shetty confirms Paresh Rawal's comeback in Heri Pheri 3 after controversy: ‘Nazar lagjaati hai agar…'
During a conversation with Pinkvilla, Suniel shared that all the jokes in the film were written by Priyadarshan himself. 'We used to improvise a bit but all these famous jokes are written by him. Every word has been written by him,' he said.
'I have never seen a director like Priyadarshan. From comedy perspective, unhe vo dikhaai deta hai jo aapko aur mujhe sunai and dikhaai nahi deta. He is a genius in comedy,' the actor added. He then gave several examples of his real-life humour.

Sunile Shetty also confirmed that Paresh Rawal is back on board Hera Pheri 3 and said, 'Ya ya, he is. I am very excited. Like I said, I will talk on the day of release kyunki nazar lagti hai. Humaari khud ki achi nazar lagjaati hai kabhi kabhi.'
Suniel also mentioned that children remember him from his character Shyam instead of his name as an actor. 'If a mother asks an eight-years-old if they recognised me, they don't. They smile after saying Hera Pheri ka naam. I am known as the Hera Pheri Shyam and not Suniel Shetty. A whole generation doesn't know me.'
Earlier this year, Hera Pheri 3 had made headlines due to Paresh Rawal's exit from the project and his eventual return.

Wo unka badappan hai ki wo log aisi baatein karte hain.' He further went on to add that, 'Yahi dosti hoti hai, this is what a relationship is all about! Salman Khan ka dukaan me aane ka matlab hi ye tha ki yaar hero hai. Hero ban raha hai, Maine Pyaar Kiya kar raha hai. Hum log tabhi post nahi karte the, warna aaj post kar dete h ki wo meri dukaan pe aaya aur fayda utha lete. Hamne wo kabhi socha hi nahi, humein pata hi nahi. Isliye Salman bhi aaj waise hi hai.'
