Bollywood fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief—veteran actor Paresh Rawal is officially back as the iconic Baburao Ganpatrao Apte in the long-awaited sequel, Hera Pheri 3. After months of uncertainty, legal drama, and emotional appeals from fans, the beloved trio of Paresh Rawal, Akshay Kumar, and Suniel Shetty is reunited.
In a podcast with Himanshu Mehta, Paresh Rawal was asked about the Hera Pheri 3 controversy. He began by saying, “There’s no controversy. I believe that when people have loved something so much, then you have to be extra careful. It is our responsibility toward the audience. The audience has given you so much adulation. You can’t take things for granted. Mehnat karke unko (film) do.”
He added, “So, I was of the opinion that sab saath mein aaye, mehnat karein. Aur kuch nahin. It is all resolved now.”
When the host re-confirmed whether all was well now, Paresh Rawal replied in the affirmative and further said, “Pehle bhi aane hi waali thi but it’s just that we had to fine-tune ourselves (laughs). After all, all of them are creative, be it Priyadarshan, Akshay or Suniel. They are friends for many, many, many years.”
While filming is expected to begin in the latter half of 2025, details around the script and release date remain under wraps. However, with the original trio locked in, and Priyadarshan at the helm, expectations are sky-high.
