After a month-and-a-half of allegations, counter-allegations, legal notices and more, the controversy around Hera Pheri 3 has finally ended. Paresh Rawal has announced that he is back in the film.
For those who came in late, Paresh Rawal had in mid-May announced on his social media that he was quitting the franchise film. This was followed by a legal notice served on him by the film’s producer and co-actor, Akshay Kumar, seeking Rs. 25 crore in damages from Paresh. Within days of the legal notice, Paresh Rawal returned the Rs. 11 lakh he had received as signing amount from Akshay Kumar.
Paresh, in an interview to Dr. Himanshu Mehta, recently said, “There is no controversy. Jab cheez logon ko itni bhaati hai, toh we have to be extra-careful. It is our responsibility towards the audience — don’t take things for granted. Mehnat karke unko do. Toh mera yehi hai ki sab aaye, sab saath mein mehnat karein. Aur kuchh nahi. Kuchh hua nahi hai, it is all resolved now. Pehle bhi film aane hee wali thi, bas ek dusre ko fine-tune karna padta hai.”
