Paresh Rawal confirms his exit from Hera Pheri 3, fans say, "declare this movie as shelved"

Paresh Rawal will not return as Baburao in Hera Pheri 3

The classic comedy film Hera Pheri 3 is returning after almost two decades. Fans were excited to watch the reunion of the iconic trio, Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal, reprising their characters in the upcoming franchise.

However, Paresh has also left the fans disappointed with the shocking revelation. The actor has recently revealed that he has quit the franchise.

A source has recently told Bollywood Hungama that Paresh Rawal has quit Hera Pheri 3 because of the creative differences, and the actor has later also confirmed the reports.
The source said, “There were creative differences between the makers and Paresh Rawal. As a result, the actor decided to step down from the film.”

However, the outlet reportedly reached out to Paresh Rawal for clarification on the reports, and he has notably confirmed the news. Paresh said, “Yes, it’s a fact.”

Fans were definitely eagerly waiting for Babu Rao's return on the screen with Shyam and Raju with their iconic comedy. Fans shared their disappointment on X and claimed that Hera Pheri would not be the same without Babu Bhaiya.

One person wrote, “Paresh Rawal QUITS Hera Pheri 3. Just shut your shops and declare this movie as shelved… There is no Hera Pheri without either of the 3 and especially not Baburao Ganpatrao Apte.”

I hope the news about Paresh Rawal leaving HP3 is not true. Because if it is then I would prefer that the movie never gets made. Imon Sarkar (@kinngsarkar) May 16, 2025

A third fan wrote, “A Hera Pheri movie should not be made without Paresh Rawal as Babu Bhaiyya!”
