The third part of Bollywood's iconic comedy film 'Hera Pheri' is in the headlines these days, but the discussion about the film is not just about its release or story, the controversies related to the film have also gained momentum. Especially since the news came out that Paresh Rawal, who has ruled the hearts of the audience in the character of Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, will not be a part of 'Hera Pheri 3'.

 

Paresh Rawal reacted to the fans' question.

 

Recently, a social media user made an emotional appeal to Paresh Rawal on X and wrote, 'Sir, think once again... you are the hero of this film.' The answer given by Paresh Rawal to this surprised the fans. He wrote, 'No... there are three heroes in Hera Pheri.'

 

With this answer of his, it became clear that he is no longer a part of the film and is probably firm on his decision. This statement is becoming increasingly viral on social media and there is an atmosphere of disappointment among the fans.

 

Why did Paresh Rawal leave the film?

 

If sources are to be believed, some financial and legal issues had come up between Paresh Rawal and 'Hera Pheri 3' producer Akshay Kumar. It is being said that after Paresh Rawal was ousted from the film, Akshay Kumar also took legal action against him, in response to which Paresh Rawal returned the signing amount along with interest to the filmmakers. This also indicates that it was not just a creative difference, but a serious dispute.

 

New face for the character of Baburao?

 

Now the biggest question is who will play the character of Baburao in 'Hera Pheri 3'? Many users on social media believe that Pankaj Tripathi can be a strong choice for this role. Looking at his comic timing and acting ability, many viewers believe that he is capable of playing this challenging character. However, no official announcement has been made by the producers yet.

 

Fans' expectations and the future of the film

The film 'Hera Pheri' and its sequel gave a new identity to Bollywood comedy. The trio of Baburao, Shyam and Raju gave people as much laughter as they gave them memories. In such a situation, people's expectations from the third party are also very high. But when one member of this trio is missing, it is natural to question the soul of the film.
