The buzz around Hera Pheri 3 has been off the charts lately—but not just because fans are excited. There’s been plenty of confusion too. Was there really a fallout between Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal? Did Baburao really walk away from the film? Or was it all just one big publicity stunt?
Now, Akshay Kumar himself has stepped in to finally set the record straight—and it’s exactly the dose of clarity fans were hoping for.
What Really Happened?
Let’s rewind for a second. Earlier this year, headlines exploded after Paresh Rawal apparently exited Hera Pheri 3, citing creative differences with Akshay Kumar and the team. Fans were heartbroken—after all, what’s Hera Pheri without Baburao?
Soon after, social media campaigns started, memes flooded the internet, and fans literally begged Rawal to come back. Then came a twist—he was coming back! That’s when everyone started asking: was this whole drama just a marketing gimmick?
Akshay Sets the Record Straight
Speaking on The Right Angle with Sonal Kalra – Season 2, Akshay Kumar addressed the controversy head-on. When asked if the entire drama with Paresh Rawal was orchestrated to promote the movie, Akshay was quick to deny it.
“Nahi, yeh publicity stunt nahi hai. The things went legal, so when legal things are involved, we cannot call it a publicity stunt; it is a real thing,” Akshay clarified.
So yes, it was a real issue—but thankfully, one that’s now resolved. Akshay also confirmed that fans won’t have to wait much longer for good news. An official Hera Pheri 3 update is on the way, and it’s going to be worth the wait.
Reunited and Ready
Despite the behind-the-scenes bumps, Akshay emphasized that everything between the team is smooth now. In his words, “We’re back together. We’ve always been together.” That’s a major sigh of relief for everyone who grew up quoting Baburao’s iconic lines.
And it’s not just Akshay who’s reassuring fans. Paresh Rawal recently opened up on The Himanshu Mehta Show podcast, echoing the same sentiment.
“Mera yahi hai ki jab cheez itni zyda logon ko bhaati hai toh you need to be extra careful… You can’t take things for granted. Mehnat karke unko do.”
It’s clear he understands the weight of expectations that come with a cult favorite like Hera Pheri—and that he’s committed to delivering, not just showing up.
So, What Now?
With both Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal confirming that the storm has passed, fans can finally breathe easy. The trio—Akshay, Paresh, and Suniel Shetty—are expected to reunite, and from all indications, the film is heading back into production soon.
Whether you were suspicious of the headlines or just hoping it wasn’t true, one thing’s clear: Hera Pheri 3 is happening, and the OG team is back.
Until then, keep your ears open—because that big official announcement? It’s just around the corner.
