What Was Disagreement Concerning?

Hera Pheri 3 was announced last year featuring Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal.

Rather than notifying the director and producer of the film, he publicly declared his departure during an interview, which infuriated Akshay Kumar, who is also one of the film's producers. He issued a legal notice to Paresh Rawal for this action, following which the actor responded legally and also refunded the signing amount for the film. Following extensive debate, Paresh Rawal chose to return to the film, and an announcement should be forthcoming soon.
