So, here’s the back story. Akshay Kumar and Firoz Nadiadwala had approached Paresh Rawal with a Rs 15 crore deal. He got the advance and was even onboard, until he saw the contract.
This was about a clause that delayed the actor’s full payment until a month after the film’s release, possibly in 2027. With no clarity on when, or if, the film would be made, Paresh walked out, returning the advance amount.

The twist? Akshay Kumar, being the majority stakeholder, saw this exit as a financial setback and reportedly sent Paresh a legal notice. Thus, a dream reunion turned into a legal wrangle.
For Bollywood buffs, Hera Pheri isn’t just cinema, it’s a cult nostalgia. With over Rs 500 crore potential, the third installment of the film deserves the original trio: Akshay, Paresh Rawal, and Suniel Shetty.
Let’s be honest: Hera Pheri without Paresh Rawal is like biryani without masala—it exists, but who wants it?
