Johnny Lever says Hera Pheri 3 ‘won't be fun' without Paresh Rawal: 'I feel that they should...'

Johny Lever, who is also part of Hera Pheri 3, says that there won't be fun with Paresh Rawal and opined that he should do the film read more Following Paresh Rawal's exit from Hera Pheri 3, a major controversy erupted over his unprofessional behaviour. While co-star and producer Akshay Kumar has sued the actor for taking the advance payment of Rs 11 lakh and leaving the film midway, Rawal returned the fee with 15 per cent interest and accused him of not delivering the screenplay of the movie. Now Johny Lever, who is also part of Hera Pheri 3 , says that there won't be fun with Paresh Rawal and opined that he should do the film. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Mujhe lagta hai ki kar lena chahiye unko film, baithke baat karein, matter solve karein kyunki fans bohut miss karenge Paresh ji ko film mein, maza nahi aayega na waisa unke bina. To baat karke solve karlena chahiye, meri nazar mein to yahi sahi hai (I feel that they should do the film, sit and talk, solve the matter, because fans will miss Paresh ji a lot. It will not be fun without him. So they should talk and solve the matter),' said Johny while talking to Zoom. Johny also shared how he was approached for the movie and said, 'Mujhe bhi Hera Pheri ki dhamki aa chuki hai, ki aap booked ho (Even I've received the Hera Pheri warning – that I'm already booked).' Akshay Kumar spoke about his feud with Paresh Rawal at the Housefull 5 trailer launch and shared, 'Jo bhi kuch hai I don't think this is a place where I will talk about it because it is a very serious matter. It is a matter which is going to be handled by the court so I don't think I am going to speak about it here.' Speaking to the same publication, Suniel Shetty also seconded Johny's opinion and said, 'A film becomes iconic when the audience remembers the characters. This is not Suniel, Akshay, and Paresh; it was Raju, Shyam, and Babu Rao. Nobody can replace those 3 characters, and even when Kartik was considered for the movie, he was never going to replace Raju; it was for a different role altogether.'

Hospital hired Indian ‘radiographer' who couldn't X-ray a foot

A radiographer employed by a private hospital was so bad at her job she could not even X-ray a foot, a disciplinary hearing was told. Smitha Johny, an Indian national who claimed to have 23 years of experience in radiography on her CV, did not know 'basic anatomy', failed to identify a broken bone on a scan and had difficulty understanding English, a panel heard. A Health and Care Professions tribunal suspended her for six months after ruling she 'lacked competence' and put patients 'at risk of harm' after it emerged she had actually worked on a hospital reception desk in India. The hearing was told Ms Johny applied to join the Health and Care Professions register in 2021 and on the form declared that her first language was English. In January 2023, she began working at the North Downs Hospital in Caterham, Surrey, run by the private health group Ramsay Healthcare. Fernando Pinto, Ms Johny's manager, told the tribunal she was assigned a 'buddy' to support her for the first few weeks but it soon 'became clear' she would need to be supervised for longer. Mr Pinto said the way Ms Johny was interacting with patients showed she was not following correct procedures. When confronted, she claimed she had worked with a CT scanner in India rather than X-rays. At her three-month review in April, Ms Johny was told she could not practise as a radiographer and she handed in her notice. The hospital then referred her to the Health and Care Professionals Council, raising concerns about her 'lack of professional knowledge' and command of English. Ms Johny told the tribunal the X-ray machines were different to those in India and alleged she had been 'made to fail' so the hospital could take on other staff. The tribunal heard that during her eight-week review, Mr Pinto presented himself as a patient having a hip X-ray, but Ms Johny pointed the machine towards his knee. He told the tribunal this could lead to 'unnecessary exposure', known as a radiation breach, which would risk patient safety by increasing their chance of developing cancer. Mr Pinto added that during the review, Ms Johny showed 'no knowledge' of the X-ray machine and did not know what each of its buttons did. He then asked her to perform a foot X-ray, the 'most basic' procedure, but Ms Johny did not know how to position the foot or the machine correctly. In February, Ms Johny failed her mandatory immediate life support course, designed to help medical professionals recognise cardiac arrest. The course organiser told Mr Pinto he did not believe Ms Johny could understand what he was saying and would be 'completely unable to react' in an emergency situation. Mr Pinto carried out another review three months into Ms Johny's employment. This time he purposefully gave her the wrong date of birth during a clinical scenario and she failed to check it against her notes. The radiographer was asked to identify a specific bone in her wrist but she pointed to the wrong one, despite Mr Pinto advising her to review the topic before the meeting. Mr Pinto said it was concerning Ms Johny could not recognise 'basic anatomy', adding that he would expect better knowledge from someone at her level. The manager then showed her an X-ray of a fractured femur and asked her to identify the problem which she could not do despite it being 'very obvious'. At the end of the review, Mr Pinto asked Ms Johny 'are you really a radiographer?' and she said she had been 'more like a manager' in her previous role, working on the reception desk to check in patients who would then be assessed by nurses. The panel found Ms Johny had misrepresented her experience when applying for the job with Ramsay Healthcare and there was a 'clear disconnect' between what she said she could do and her actual skill level. However, they concluded that her actions were 'naive' as opposed to dishonest and that the expectations were 'very different' from the remote part of India where she had worked and, at some point, been trained in radiography. In terms of her English skills, they found she had not misrepresented her ability by saying it was her first language but did note that her test score was below the level required for fluency. In deciding to suspend Ms Johny, the panel determined that her actions reflected a 'lack of competency' rather than misconduct. They said: 'There was a clear pattern of repeated failures by [Ms Johny], even after she was shown what to do and provided with a significant amount of support.' There was 'some progress' in Ms Johny's skills and language but it was not enough for her to qualify as 'competent', they added. 'The evidence suggested she was eager, cheerful and friendly and it was clear to the panel that these were matters of competency rather than misconduct. 'By not being able to demonstrate her competency as a radiographer, patients were put at unwarranted risk of harm, which was only avoided because she was being constantly supervised. 'The panel thus decided to impose a suspension order for a period of six months. This would mark the seriousness of the failings, whilst allowing [Ms Johny] a period of time to reflect and hopefully re-engage with the process.'
