Paresh Rawal Addresses Legal Dispute Surrounding His Departure from Hera Pheri 3
Veteran actor Paresh Rawal has addressed the ongoing legal dispute with Cape of Good Films following his unexpected departure from the much-anticipated film Hera Pheri 3. The situation has garnered significant attention, particularly due to Rawal’s beloved portrayal of Babu Bhaiya in the franchise. In a recent social media post, Rawal confirmed that his lawyer has submitted a formal response regarding his exit, suggesting that the matter may soon be resolved.
Rawal’s Official Statement
On Sunday, Paresh Rawal took to X (formerly Twitter) to clarify his position regarding the legal issues stemming from his exit from *Hera Pheri 3*. He stated, โMy lawyer, Ameet Naik, has sent an appropriate response regarding my rightful termination and exit. Once they read my response, all issues will be laid to rest.โ This statement indicates Rawal’s confidence in the legal process and his belief that the situation will be clarified soon.
The actor’s departure from the film has raised eyebrows, especially since he has been a key figure in the franchise. His exit reportedly came after he returned the signing amount of Rs 11 lakhs, along with additional interest. This move has left fans and industry insiders speculating about the future of the film and Rawal’s role in it.
Financial Implications of the Exit
According to sources, Rawal’s decision to leave *Hera Pheri 3* was influenced by the financial terms outlined in his contract. He was initially paid Rs 11 lakhs as a signing amount, with a total fee of Rs 15 crores agreed upon. However, the contract stipulated that he would receive the remaining balance of Rs 14.89 crores only one month after the film’s release. Given that the principal shooting was not set to begin until next year, this meant Rawal would have to wait nearly two years for the rest of his payment.
This delay in payment raised concerns for Rawal, prompting him to reconsider his involvement in the project. The film’s release timeline, projected for late 2026 or 2027, further complicated matters, leading to his decision to exit the film altogether.
Industry Reactions and Future Prospects
The news of Rawal’s departure has not only shocked fans but also left the production team in a state of uncertainty. Filmmaker Priyadarshan and co-star Suniel Shetty have publicly expressed their disappointment over the situation. The initial plans for the film included Rawal, Akshay Kumar, and Suniel Shetty, making his exit particularly impactful.
As the legal proceedings unfold, there are reports that the production team is considering recasting Rawal’s role with actor Pankaj Tripathi. However, many fans remain hopeful that a resolution can be reached that would allow Rawal to return to the franchise. His recent statements suggest that he is standing firm in his decision, yet optimistic about a potential resolution.
