Paresh Rawal Getss A Hera Pheri Surprise

‘Hera
Pheri
cannot
happen
without
Paresh
Rawal.’

Paresh
Rawal
got
a
surprise
wish
on
his
70th
birthday
on
May
30.

It
was
from
his

Hera
Pheri
co-star
Suniel
Shetty.

‘To
the
man
who
is
a
powerhouse
of
both
Wit
&
Wisdom
and
an
even
more
wonderful
human
being.
Happy
happy
Pareshji.
Much
love
and
respect
always,’
Suniel
Shetty
posted
on

X.

Paresh
Rawal
replied,
‘Anna
thanks
this
means
a
lot.’

It
would
certainly
‘mean
a
lot’
since
Paresh
Rawal
has
landed
himself
in
controversy
with
the

Hera
Pheri
team
ever
since
he
walked
out
of
the
third
installment
after
the
shoot
had
started.

Akshay
Kumar,
who
co-stars
in
the
film
and
has
bought
the
original
rights,


sued
the
senior
actor
for
Rs
25
crore
(Rs
250
million).

Paresh
Rawal
reportedly
returned
the
signing
amount
of
Rs
11
lakh
(Rs
1.1
million)
along
with
15
percent
interest.

Some
reports
pointed
out
to
creative
differences
between
Director
Priyadarshan
and
Paresh
Rawal
but
the
latter
clarified
by
stating
there
was
no
truth
in
it.

He
posted
on
May
18:
‘I
wish
to
put
it
on
record
that
my
decision
to
step
away
from

Hera
Pheri
3
was
not
due
to
creative
differences.
I
reiterate
that
there
are
no
creative
disagreements
with
the
filmmaker.
I
hold
immense
love,
respect,
and
faith
in
Mr
Priyadarshan
the
film
director.’

But
he
did
not
specify
his
reasons
for
quitting
the
film.

Director
Priyadarshan
said
he
was
‘very,
very
hurt‘
by
Rawal’s
behaviour.

At
the
trailer
launch
of
his
upcoming
film

Housefull
5,
Akshay
addressed
the
matter
and


said
this.

Suniel
expressed
his
shock
over
Rawal’s
exit
while
speaking
to
ANI.

“I
mean,
it’s
an
absolute
shock
to
me,
and
I’m
here
because
I
heard
it
yesterday,
and
then
today,
some
more
news
came
about.
So
I
need
to
call
and
find
out,
and
I’m
completely
heartbroken
because
if
there
was
one
film
that
I
was
looking
forward
to,
it
was

Hera
Pheri,
you
know,”
he
said.

Earlier,
Suniel
Shetty
voiced
everyone’s
thoughts
when
he
posted,
‘Hera
Pheri
cannot
happen
without
Paresh
Rawal.
It’s
an
absolute
shock
to
me
and
I
am
completely
heartbroken.
If
there
was
one
film
I
was
looking
forward
to,
it
was

Hera
Pheri…

‘It
100%
can’t
happen
without
Paresh
Rawal,
it
can
1%
happen
without
me
and
Akshay…
If
Raju
and
Shyam
are
not
hammered
by
Babu
Bhaiya,
it
doesn’t
work.’

Paresh
Rawal’s

Hera
Pheri
character
Baburao
Ganpatrao
Apte
is
one
of
the
most
iconic
characters
of
21st
century
Bollywood
movies.

The
first
film
released
in
2000,
and
spawned
a
part
2
in
2006.
Both
films
did
well
at
the
box
office.
