Akshay Kumar Reacts to Paresh Rawal’s Exit from Hera Pheri 3
Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has finally addressed the buzz around veteran actor Paresh Rawal’s rumored exit from the much-anticipated film Hera Pheri 3. Speaking at a recent promotional event, Akshay expressed both surprise and disappointment at the reports.
“Paresh ji has been the soul of Hera Pheri. His portrayal of Baburao is legendary — no one can replace him,” Akshay said. “It’s not just about casting, it’s about chemistry, legacy, and the emotional connect with the audience.”
While the Hera Pheri franchise originally featured Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Suniel Shetty in lead roles, rumors of a cast reshuffle have upset long-time fans. The absence of Rawal, who made the character of Baburao iconic with his impeccable comic timing, has led to a wave of nostalgia and protest on social media.
Although there has been no official confirmation from the producers regarding Rawal’s departure, Akshay’s comments suggest that the team may still be in talks to bring the original trio back together. Fans are now waiting eagerly for clarity and hope the film retains the magic of its beloved cast.
