Paresh Rawal returns to 'Hera Pheri 3' after quitting the film, says 'The film was about to come earlier but...'
Rawal has now revealed in an interview he's back on board. The actor revealed, 'There's no controversy.' read more The official announcement of Hera Pheri 3 cheered all cinegoers as they were excited to see the iconic characters of Raju (Akshay Kumar), Shyam (Suniel Shetty) and Baburao (Paresh Rawal) on the big screen. However, the sudden exit of the latter shocked and disappointed everyone. Rawal has now revealed in an interview he's back on board. The actor revealed, '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.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD He added, 'The audience has given you so much adulation. You can't take things for granted. Mehnat karke unko (film) do.' Rawal continued, '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.' Priyadarshan, who was supposed to direct Hera Pheri 3 , revealed that Akshay Kumar had tears in his eyes when he came to know about Paresh Rawal's exit. The copyright issue In an interview with Mid-day, the director also revealed, 'Akshay bought the entire rights of the Hera Pheri franchise for Rs 10 crore from Firoz Nadiadwala, who had produced the first two [parts]. This is not just for Hera Pheri 3 but the entire franchise. I know this as I have seen the paperwork for it.' What Akshay Kumar said about Paresh Rawal's exit I have been working with him for the last 32 years. We are very good friends. He's a great actor. I really admire him. I don't think this is a place where I am going to talk about it because… it's a very serious matter. It is a matter which is going to be handled by the courts. Hence, I don't think I am going to speak about it here,' said the actor at Housefull 5's trailer launch.

Meet actor, who hasn't given a single hit in 13 years, now runs a business worth Rs 8500 crore, name is..., father is..., not Vivek Oberoi
In the glittering rush of Bollywood's 2010s debut wave—when the likes of Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, and Ayushmann Khurrana exploded onto the scene—one face briefly lit up the silver screen and then quietly vanished: Girish Kumar. Was launched in Ramaiya Vastavaiya He launched into the limelight with Ramaiya Vastavaiya in 2013, a romantic drama directed by Prabhu Deva and co-starring Shruti Haasan. Though the film was only an average performer at the box office, its soundtrack became a hit, and Girish was even nominated for several Best Debut awards. But unlike his contemporaries, Girish didn't stick around. His second and last film, Loveshhuda (2016), bombed critically and commercially. And just like that, the actor walked away from the arc lights—never to return. But Girish didn't exit the industry entirely. As the son of veteran producer Kumar S. Taurani and nephew of Ramesh Taurani, he stepped into the family-run Tips Industries. Today, he serves as the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the music and film giant. While fans wondered why he disappeared, Girish was quietly building an empire. Thanks to his stake in the company—currently valued at Rs 8,533.40 crore on the NSE—Girish's personal wealth now reportedly stands at Rs 2,164 crore. That's more than Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, and even Aamir Khan. Now a husband and father, Girish was recently spotted in Mumbai, far removed from the world of red carpets and press tours. While many stars chase the spotlight, he chose a quieter path—one that made him one of Bollywood's most unexpectedly wealthy men.
