Baburao Ganpatrao Apte might be the most popular and memorable character in any comedy franchise in Bollywood and that shows how effortlessly Paresh Rawal pulled it off.
However, with his exit from the upcoming Hera Pheri 3, there is a huge void to fill and there might not be many versatile actors to portray the character of Baburao.

One name that comes to mind is Pankaj Tripathi. The veteran actor is one of the finest actors in Bollywood currently and is known for his impressive comic timing and ability to blend in any role effortlessly.
Having Pankaj Tripathi as Baburao would be a treat for several fans as he will put on a show aiming to match the vibe of the character.

We cannot talk about comic timing without mentioning Vijay Raaz. His iconic comic brilliance has shown how the actor is versatile and can adapt to any character easily.

The legendary actor Nana Patekar needs no introduction in the field of comedy as his character of Uday Shetty is still remembered by every fan due to its comic timing and legendary performance.
The intensity needed for the character of Baburao in Hera Pheri might be exactly what Nana Patekar has to offer as seen over the years.
If we take a look for someone outside of the Bollywood industry, legendary Telugu actor Brahmanandam comes to mind.
Recognized as one of India’s finest and highest-paid comic actors, he holds the Guinness World Record for the most screen credits for a living actor, having appeared in over 1,000 films.
With so much experience and versatility, Brahmanandam might be another perfect choice for the role of Paresh Rawal in the film.
All in all, while the character remains iconic and it might be impossible to replace it, a good and versatile actor can do so.
If the script and character plot fits well, audiences will certainly love it and at the end of the day, it is all about how a performer makes a character his.
While fans are still hoping for a miracle to happen that might bring back Paresh Rawal to the franchise, these four actors might stand a chance if Paresh Rawal ultimately leaves the franchise.
