With Paresh Rawal, Suniel Shetty, and Akshay Kumar reprising their iconic roles, Hera Pheri 3 is poised to deliver the kind of comedy that audiences have grown to love over the years.

In a recent appearance on The Himanshu Mehta Show podcast, Paresh Rawal addressed the controversy and emphasized the weight of responsibility that comes with being part of such a loved franchise. Reflecting on the earlier fallout, Rawal said, “Toh mera yahi hai ki bhaiya sab aaye saath mein, sab mehnat kar, bas aur kuch nahi. Resolved. Hua kuch nahi hai! It is all resolved (So my point is that everyone should come together, work hard, that's all—nothing else. Resolved. Nothing really happened! It is all resolved)."

He further said, "You can’t take things for granted", explaining that when a project holds such sentimental value for audiences, the cast and crew must approach it with added sincerity and commitment.
