Akshay Kumar Reacts To Paresh Rawal's Hera Pheri 3 Exit For The FIRST Time: '32 Saal Se Unke Saath...'
Last Updated: Akshay Kumar has finally reacted to the controversy surrounding Paresh Rawal's exit from Hera Pheri 3. Akshay Kumar on Paresh Rawal Hera Pheri 3 Exit Controversy: After much speculation and legal back-and-forth, Akshay Kumar has finally reacted to the controversy surrounding Hera Pheri 3—the third installment in the iconic franchise. The drama took center stage after veteran actor Paresh Rawal exited the film and also accused Akshay Kumar and the production team of not providing him with a proper script or a long-term agreement. Frustrated with the handling of the project, Paresh Rawal chose to walk out of the film, triggering widespread chatter across the industry and among fans. The issue came up again during the trailer launch event of Housefull 5, where Akshay Kumar was asked about his fallout with Paresh. Akshay said, in a video clip posted by Bollywood Hungama, 'I've worked with him since the last 30 years. 32 saal see unke saath kaam karte aya hoon. We are very good friends. He is a great actor. I really admire him. I don't think this is a place where I am going to talk about it. Because, whatever has to happen — it is a very serious matter — it is a matter which is going to be handled by the court. I don't think I'm going to speak about it here." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bollywood Hungama🎥 (@realbollywoodhungama) He also reprimanded the journalist for not choosing the correct words to describe Paresh Rawal. 'Using this kind of word for my co-star — like a foolish word — I would not appreciate it," Akshay firmly said. Earlier, Paresh Rawal's legal team, Anand & Naik, broke silence on his exit from the much-loved Hera Pheri 3. A source close to the production told TOI in March, during the shoot of Bhoot Bangla, Akshay gave Paresh Rawal a paper to sign for Hera Pheri 3 and said the full agreement would come later. But Rawal was unsure because he hadn't seen any script or other details. 'Akshay told him, 'Don't worry, trust me. You'll see it later in the long-form agreement.' Based on his personal rapport with Kumar and acting in good faith, Paresh Rawal signed the term sheet," the source adds. In April, Rawal was asked to shoot a promotional video for Hera Pheri 3 . He once again questioned Akshay about the script, the production plan, and the long-term agreement." The source added, 'The promo was eventually filmed on the Bhooth Bangla set, with some modifications. Shooting was initially scheduled to begin in 2026. Rawal suggested deferring the promo shoot to next year. To date, Paresh Rawal has not received a longterm agreement, script, or any official production details." Whether Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal will reconcile or if Hera Pheri 3 will move ahead without Paresh Rawal remains to be seen. First Published:
