At the trailer launch event of Housefull 5, Akshay Kumar was asked to share his thoughts on Paresh Rawal’s exit from Hera Pheri 3, as fans have been disappointed and even called him ‘foolish’ for leaving the sequel. The ‘foolish’ comment didn’t sit well with the actor and he was quick to point that out.

The actor said, “Sabse pehle toh mein aap ko kahunga ki using this kind of word for one of my co-stars, like a foolish word or something, I would not appreciate it. I would say that that's not right. I've worked with him for the last 32 years. We are very good friends. He's a great actor. I really admire him.”

Further talking about Paresh Rawal’s exit from Hera Pheri 3, Akshay added, “Jo bhi kuch hai, I don't think so this is a place where I'm going to talk about it. Whatever has to happen, it's a very serious matter. It is a matter that is going to be heard by the court. So I don't think I'm going to speak about it here.”

For the unversed, Bollywood Hungama reported that Paresh Rawal has exited Hera Pheri 3 over creative differences between him and the makers. Later, the actor himself took to X (formerly Twitter) and shared that his decision to step away from Hera Pheri 3 wasn’t due to creative differences. He also shared having ‘immense love, respect and faith’ in filmmaker Priyadarshan.

Earlier, Pinkvilla exclusively reported that the producers of Hera Pheri 3, Cape of Good Films, have sent a legal notice to Paresh Rawal for damages of Rs 25 crore. A source shared, “Cape of Good Films had procured the rights of Hera Pheri 3 from multiple stakeholders and even repaid all the debts existing on the film. The amount splurged was in crores, as the intent was to get back Hera Pheri on the big screen after 20 years for the audience. Paresh's unprofessional behavior has cost a bomb to the film.”
