Fans shared heartfelt reactions to Paresh Rawal's comment. One of them wrote, 'Sir, Hera Pheri wouldn't be same with you.', Another said, 'Sir, please rethink your decision.' As many awaited to watch the reunion of Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal, one user addressed, 'The trio wouldn't be complete without you.'
Following Paresh Rawal's exit from Hera Pheri 3, rumours claimed that they were creative differences between him and makers that urged him to quit the franchise. However, Paresh dismissed these speculations. He later revealed the real reason behind his decision and said to Midday, '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.'
Following Rawal's departure, reports emerged that film's lead actor and producer, Akshay Kumar, was considering to take a legal action against him. The film's director Priyadarshan told the same publication that Rawal didn't inform anyone before taking the decision and revealed that contract was already signed and the film's promo and few scenes were already shot. He also said that Akshay had tears in his eyes after the veteran actor announced his departure from the film.
While, amid this controversy, it still remains unclear whether Akshay, Suniel, and Priyadarshan will proceed with the third installment of Hera Pheri without Paresh or not.

Kareena Kapoor Khan Went From 68 Kg To 48 Kg For A Role, Says She Took It "As A Challenge"
If you have been looking for ways to shed the extra kilos, who can be a better inspiration than the OG diva of Bollywood - Kareena Kapoor? From her size-zero avatar to her post-pregnancy transformations, the 44-year-old makes it seem so easy, but there is a lot of hard work that went into it. When Kareena Kapoor Spilled Her Weight Loss Secrets The much-talked-about weight loss journey was when Kareena Kapoor Khan achieved the size-zero figure. She lost a whopping 20 kg for her role in the 2008 movie Tashan. In an interview with Mid Day, Kareena Kapoor Khan revealed that her weight loss was a combination of yoga and a healthy diet. "The size zero phase was a result of a combination of yoga and Rujuta's meal plan. I was 68 kilos, and she brought me down to 48, which is when I gave that bikini shot for Tashan. I took up that project as a challenge. Adi [producer Aditya Chopra] told me, 'You need to be super fit to be in this movie. Will you be able to do it?' And I said, 'Of course'. '" Kareena Kapoor Khan also laughed at the speculations that she survived on orange juice, which she said is not true. "I'd love to make it clear that I lost weight the right way. I'm a Kapoor with a Punjabi build. I can't live without wholesome food and would not have been able to conceive, had I not eaten the way I did. Rujuta (her nutritionist) always had things sorted out for me, balancing the right amount of fat in my diet. I trusted her blindly, even when I was told to consume p arathas with ghee," she added. The Udta Punjab actor also shared some hacks that kept her gut health in check. Kareena Kapoor Khan shared that Rujuta Diwekar always used to suggest home remedies whenever the actor complained of acidity. "She'll recommend I have a glass of chilled milk with gulkand in it. On other occasions, she'll ask me to have water with kesar to flush out toxins. Her methods work well for me," she revealed. The first time around, the actor had lost 20 kg, and she did it a second time after giving birth to Taimur. Reportedly, she lost around 32 kg post-pregnancy. In a recent interview, Rujuta Diwekar revealed that the actor has been following the same routine since 2009. Read on to know what Kareena Kapoor eats in a day to keep herself fit and healthy.

'Koi Ladki Pass Nahi Aati Thi': Gulshan Grover On This 'Bad Man' Image On Screen
Last Updated: Gulshan Grover says women avoided him for years due to his scary villain roles — until social media helped show his real personality. Gulshan Grover has spent decades terrifying audiences on screen, but in real life, his villainous roles had an unexpected side effect — women kept their distance. The actor, who's famously called Bollywood's 'Bad Man," recently dropped by Archana Puran Singh and Parmeet Sethi's home for lunch and a candid chat on their vlog. During the visit, the topic turned to how his menacing characters affected people's perception of him off screen — especially women. When Parmeet asked if his on-screen persona scared women away, Grover didn't hesitate. 'Jab tak social media nahi aaya tha, toh koi ladki pass nahi aati thi because unhe lagta tha jo screen par dekha tha wahi personality has iss aadmi ki," he said. Grover went on to recall how things slowly shifted after social media became part of the picture. 'Aur jab social media aaya aur when I entered a party, hugged Archana, another heroine saw it and pehle toh unko a Vishwas hua ki film toh bhaag rahi thi aur yahan gale mil rahi hai, yeh kya nonsense hai. Then slowly slowly people understood that he is just doing a role," he explained. Known for unforgettable villainous turns in hits like Ram Lakhan, Mohra, Sir, Hera Pheri and Duplicate, Grover built a legacy playing the bad guy. His bold performance as the over-the-top antagonist in Ram Lakhan made 'Bad Man" his signature – but also blurred the lines between reel and real for many fans. Now, thanks to social media, Grover says people can finally see the difference between the character and the man himself. Gulshan Grover is set to appear next in Heer Express, directed by Umesh Shukla. The film is produced by Umesh Shukla, Ashish Wagh, Mohit Chhabra, and Sanjay Grover. It marks the debut of Divita Juneja, who stars alongside Ashutosh Rana, Sanjay Mishra, Prit Kamani, and Grover in pivotal roles. Heer Express is slated for a theatrical release on September 12.
