Mumbai: Paresh Rawal, famous for his role of Baburao in the film Hera Pheri, has been informed about his exit from the upcoming Hera Pheri 3, reports Dynamite News correspondent.
Rawal clarified that his exit was not due to creative differences with director Priyadarshan, emphasizing his respect for him.
While the specific reasons have not been revealed, Rawal denied that monetary issues were the reason. On Sunday, veteran actor Paresh Rawal who played the iconic Baburao in Hera Pheri, clarified that his exit from the much-awaited film Hera Pheri 3 was not due to creative differences. Initial reports of Rawal's exit from the threequel suggested that there were creative differences between the makers and the actors.
In a statement on X, Rawal said, "I would like to put it on record that my decision to walk away from Hera Pheri 3 was not due to creative differences. The reasons behind Rawal's exit have not been revealed. When we asked Rawal about the reason behind his exit, he said, "The news of my exit from Hera Pheri 3 is true.
"That is all I can say as of now." When asked if there were financial reasons behind his exit, as speculated on the internet, he said, "Money was not an issue. "The love and respect of my audience is more than any amount of money." Our several attempts to contact filmmaker Priyadarshan were futile. Even Rawal's Hera Pheri 3 co-star Suniel Shetty did not comment till we went to press.
The original Hera Pheri (2000) and its sequel Phir Hera Pheri (2006) have become cult favourites, renowned for their comic brilliance and timeless dialogues. The first film, directed by Priyadarshan, showcased the misunderstandings of Raju (Akshay Kumar), Shyam (Sunil Shetty) and Baburao (Paresh Rawal). The sequel, directed by Neeraj Vora, brought out the characters' quirks and camaraderie even better.
