Paresh Rawal Wears ‘Don't Quit' T-Shirt After Hera Pheri 3 Exit; A Jibe At Akshay Kumar?
Last Updated: Paresh's sudden departure reportedly shocked Akshay, who had bought the rights to the beloved franchise only after Rawal's verbal nod. The Hera Pheri 3 controversy just got more dramatic. Days after veteran actor Paresh Rawal officially exited the much-anticipated comedy sequel, a photo of him wearing a 'Don't Quit" t-shirt has gone viral. The image, originally shared by actress Geeta Basra, has fans wondering if it's a subtle jab at the ongoing fallout with Akshay Kumar. Paresh's sudden departure reportedly shocked Akshay, who had bought the rights to the beloved franchise only after Rawal's verbal nod. The move allegedly caused financial setbacks for the production, prompting Akshay to initiate legal action against his longtime co-star. In response, Paresh clarified that he had genuine reasons for stepping away from the project and had returned the signing amount, with interest. 'My lawyer, Ameet Naik, has sent an appropriate response regarding my rightful termination and exit. Once they read my response, all issues will be laid to rest," Rawal posted on X (formerly Twitter), standing firm on his decision. The actor's 'Don't Quit" tee has become a talking point on social media, with fans and followers speculating whether it's a cryptic message aimed at the makers or a mere coincidence. Given the timing, it's certainly raised eyebrows. Adding to the tension, Hera Pheri franchise star Suniel Shetty also expressed his disappointment over Rawal's exit. In an interview with ANI, he said, 'It cannot happen without Paresh Rawal. It can have a one per cent chance without me and Akshay, but it can't happen at all without Paresh ji. Raju and Shyam, if they're not hammered by Babu, it doesn't work." Rawal's portrayal of Babu Bhaiya is considered iconic, and fans find it hard to imagine the third installment without his signature wit and charm. While hopes are still alive for a possible reconciliation, the chances of seeing the original trio back together seem slim at the moment. With legal notices flying and social media dissecting every move, the fate of Hera Pheri 3 remains uncertain. First Published:
