After BTS's Jimin and Jungkook, ARMY awaits Suga's return

India Today12-06-2025
During the last couple of days, four members of South Korea's biggest boyband, BTS, were discharged from mandatory military service. While the other two were discharged previously, Suga aka Min Yoongi is the last member who is yet to complete his term in the military.Suga began his military service on September 22, 2023, as a public service worker due to his shoulder injury. He is expected to be discharged on June 21, 2025. His military duties were changed to public service rather than active duty because of his health issue.advertisementSuga released his debut solo album, D-day under the name Agust D, before enlisting himself in the military. With only a few days left for him to be relieved, BTS's fans aka ARMY are eagerly waiting for the band's reunion. BTS is expected to return to the charts later this year.
Why did they serve in the military? South Korea has a mandatory military service law, which requires all able-bodied men between 18-35 to serve for approximately 18-21 months in the country's military. The law aims to maintain national security and protect the country's sovereignty, as military service in South Korea is considered a civic duty and a patriotic obligation.What happens next?Once Suga is discharged from the military, it is assumed that the band will reunite and continue to make music. Recently, ARMY noticed that J Hope was donning a similar outfit, which the group once wore on their iconic Run BTS episode.advertisementThis led the fans to go berserk with excitement. In a recent interview, with Apple Music 1's The Zane Lowe Show, J-Hope spoke about the band's future. 'I think that over time, we each refined our unique identities as each of us work on their own music, come out with their solo projects and do their own thing. The funny thing for me is when our identities, which have taken shape in various ways, come together as BTS, I'm curious to see what it'll look like. We will quickly get together and talk about what BTS can do in the future. I think it's going to be a massive energy," he said.Must Watch

‘Paresh Rawal said sorry for leaving Hera Pheri 3': Priyadarshan said Akshay Kumar, Paresh called him together, said issue is ‘sorted'

Paresh Rawal confirmed last Sunday that his issues with the makers of Hera Pheri 3 have been resolved amicably, and that he's back in the film. While no official statement from producer Akshay Kumar and the film's team has been made yet, director Priyadarshan has now confirmed that the threequel is back on track. 'Both Akshay and Paresh called to say that everything is sorted,' he said, adding, 'I was in shock when Paresh said, 'Sir, I'm doing the movie. I have never had anything except a lot of respect for you. I've done 26 movies with you, and I'm sorry to have left the film. There were some personal issues.'' In the interview with Mid-Day, the filmmaker also said that Akshay, Paresh, and Suniel Shetty met with each other to resolve the issues. 'Hera Pheri cannot happen without any of the three lead characters. Recently, on a flight, a diamond merchant and his family came to me and requested me to bring Paresh back. They said they won't watch the film otherwise,' said Priyadarshan. The director will now start writing the script of Hera Pheri 3, and the production is supposed to start by the end of this year, with a release planned for next year. However, Neeraj Vora who served as a screenwriter on the first part, and also as a director on the 2006 sequel Phir Hera Pheri, won't be there to collaborate this time around. He died of a stroke in 2017. 'Whatever I do, I cannot surpass Hera Pheri. The second part was bad; it was a copy of a Hollywood movie,' said Priyadarshan. Phir Hera Pheri was allegedly a rip-off of Guy Ritchie's 1998 neo-noir black comedy crime drama Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Priyadarshan also denied any rumoured involvement of producer Sajid Nadiadwala and filmmaker Ahmed Khan in the patching up of Akshay and Paresh. Before Hera Pheri 3, Akshay, Paresh, and Suniel will also share screen space in Ahmed's adventure comedy Welcome to the Jungle, which is the threequel of Anees Bazmee's 2007 cult comedy Welcome. While Paresh was a part of Welcome and its 2015 sequel Welcome Back, Akshay was only in the first film. Suniel is a new entrant in the franchise.

While Akshay had initially walked out of the film, he rejoined it after buying the franchise's rights from Firoz Nadiadwala. Once Priyadarshan also came onboard to direct, Paresh walked out of the film without citing any particular reasons officially. Akshay even sued Paresh for violating his contract. Akshay and Paresh will also be seen sharing screen space in Priyadarshan's horror comedy Bhooth Bangla, which is slated to release in cinemas on April 2, 2026.

Paresh Rawal Apologised To Priyadarshan For Leaving Hera Pheri 3: 'I'm Sorry I Left'

Last Updated: Paresh Rawal apologised to Priyadarshan for quitting Hera Pheri 3, calling it a personal decision. The heartfelt apology paved the way for his return to the film. In a heartening development for fans of Indian comedy cinema, veteran actor Paresh Rawal is officially back on board for Hera Pheri 3, months after stepping away from the project. Director Priyadarshan, who helmed the original cult classic in 2000, has now opened up about the emotional and surprising turn of events that brought Rawal back into the fold. In a candid conversation with Mid-Day, Priyadarshan revealed that Paresh personally called to apologise for his earlier exit from the film. 'Both Akshay and Paresh called to say everything is sorted. I was in shock when Paresh said, 'Sir, I'm doing the movie.' He added, 'I've never had anything but respect for you. I've done 26 films with you, and I'm sorry for leaving. There were some personal issues.' He told me that he, Akshay, and Suniel met and cleared the air." The director, who is currently working on the script, stressed how crucial all three characters—Raju, Shyam, and Baburao—are to the franchise. 'Whatever I do, I cannot surpass Hera Pheri. The second part was bad—it was a copy of a Hollywood film. But Hera Pheri can't happen without all three. In fact, a diamond merchant once approached me on a flight and said, 'Please bring back Paresh Rawal. We won't watch it otherwise,'" he shared. Earlier this year, fans were left disheartened when Paresh announced he would not be returning to the iconic role of Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, citing personal reasons and creative differences. The surprise exit was reportedly followed by Akshay Kumar filing a legal notice, given the impact on production timelines. However, things seem to have taken a positive turn in recent weeks. During a recent podcast with Himanshu Mehta, Paresh confirmed his return, quipping, 'The film was going to happen anyway; we just needed a bit of fine-tuning. After all, everyone involved—Priyadarshan, Akshay, Suniel—we've been friends for so many years. It was just a matter of realigning." With the OG trio of Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal now reunited, anticipation for Hera Pheri 3 has skyrocketed. The first film, released in 2000, earned a cult following for its slapstick comedy, unforgettable dialogues, and brilliant chemistry between the leads. Its sequel, Phir Hera Pheri (2006), while less acclaimed critically, became a major box office success. Now, with Priyadarshan back in the director's chair and the original cast reunited, Hera Pheri 3 promises a nostalgic yet fresh comic ride. Fans can't wait to revisit the chaotic world of Raju, Shyam, and Babu Bhaiya—and see what hilarious mess they land themselves in next. First Published: July 03, 2025, 13:03 IST
