A news has been going viral on social media that Paresh Rawal and Akshay Kumar have patched up, which means that Baburao will be played by Paresh Rawal only!
It was nearly two weeks ago that Paresh Rawal announced his departure from the film due to reasons which were only known to him and Akshay Kumar.
News outlet by the name of The Philox has also made this sensational claim and has even gone on to reveal an exclusive story as to what really happened that made Paresh Rawal announce his decision to leave the franchise and how the matter was finally resolved.
As per the claims on social media, it was Akshay Kumar who spearheaded the negotiations with Paresh Rawal directly, and the two finally decided to put an end to the problems.
Was the Hera Pheri 3 Drama Real or Just a PR Stunt by Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal?
Ever since this news has gone viral that Paresh Rawal and Akshay Kumar have resolved all the issues, fans are now calling it a PR Stunt in order to bring limelight to the sequel.
Fans opine that there were multiple hints of all of this as publicity stunts, especially when
- Suniel Shetty gave an interview on The Lallantop recently and even talked about the issue. Quite frankly, it’s not often that you see a major cast giving an interview when the film is in the midst of such a high controversy dispute.
- Secondly, Paresh Rawal had clearly mentioned that there were no creative differences that were the reason he announced his exit and nor did he hint about remuneration issues. Therefore, it’s even harder to think of any other reason that would have compelled Paresh to exit the franchise!
- Thirdly, the soft tonality of Akshay Kumar towards Paresh Rawal when the reporter enquired him about the issue during the Housefull 5 event gave a subtle hint that hardly anything is wrong between the two of them.
An industry trade analyst, speaking on the condition of anonymity to Az1Network, said that, “Such PR stunts have become necessary in order to create the hype, and that the possibility of going with Hera Pheri 3 without Paresh Rawal never ever existed in the first place. If there was really a disagreement, Hera Pheri 3 would never go on floors. Plain and Simple, Paresh is irreplaceable for Baburao’s role.”
What we are trying to say is, there appeared to be no animosity or even a disagreeable atmosphere, indicating a problem in the first place. However, all of this is a speculation! But if we go by fans’ opinion, the majority of them knew what was coming and are calling all of this a PR Stunt, which they believe was unnecessary.
Whether there was a real issue or it was a PR Stunt, there is no denying that the spotlight is now more on Hera Pheri 3. There is still no official confirmation yet, but there are strong indications that the matter has been resolved.
Another thing that you have to note is that all this matter has worked as PR for even the Bhoot Bangla movie, which stars Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal and is slated to release in 2026. Ironically, Priyadardshan is the director of Bhoot Bangla also!
Whether all of this was real or rehearsed, the drama has left fans divided. What do you think—genuine disagreement or clever marketing?”
