The buzz surrounding Hera Pheri 3 has taken an unexpected turn, and it’s not the kind of twist fans were hoping for. In a surprising development, veteran actor Paresh Rawal is reportedly stepping away from the much-anticipated sequel, leaving both the audience and the film’s leading cast bewildered.
In a recent interview, Suniel Shetty, who plays the iconic character Shyam in the franchise, expressed his confusion and concern over the news. “Even Akshay is clueless,” Shetty remarked, referring to his co-star Akshay Kumar, who reprises the role of Raju in the comedy series. “We’ve all been looking forward to working together again. Hera Pheri isn’t Hera Pheri without Baburao.”
Paresh Rawal’s portrayal of the eccentric and lovable Baburao Ganpatrao Apte has become one of the most beloved comic characters in Indian cinema. His chemistry with Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty is widely considered the backbone of the franchise’s success.

Though neither Rawal nor the makers have officially confirmed his exit, industry rumors suggest scheduling conflicts and creative differences as possible reasons. Suniel Shetty, however, remains hopeful that things can be resolved. “We are still trying to get clarity. Sometimes there’s miscommunication, sometimes other priorities. But as actors and as a team, we want to make this happen — together.”
The third installment of Hera Pheri has already had its share of production delays, script rewrites, and casting confusion over the years. While Akshay Kumar’s brief departure and return to the franchise made headlines in 2023, fans were eventually relieved when the original trio reunited — or so they thought.
On social media, the news of Paresh Rawal’s rumored exit has sparked disappointment and demands from fans urging the team to “not break the iconic trio.”
As of now, the future of Hera Pheri 3 remains uncertain. With Suniel Shetty voicing the concerns of both cast and fans, one can only hope the film’s team finds a way to bring back the beloved Baburao. Until then, the wait for clarity — and for laughter — continues.
