What Paresh Rawal Said About the Controversy
In a candid conversation on The Lavari Show, Rawal dismissed rumors about a ₹25 crore lawsuit, calling it “kachva chaap agarbatti” (all smoke, no fire). The real holdup? A technical dispute between Akshay and the makers that needs resolution before cameras roll.
“If this gets resolved between the two, I will sign the papers. Nothing to do with me, but it will happen 100%,” the National Award-winner confirmed, putting fan anxieties to rest.
Why Babu Rao is Non-Negotiable
Rawal didn’t mince words about his iconic character’s importance. “Even at the cost of modesty, if they’re going with the idea of doing Hera Pheri without Babu Rao, then it will be a disaster,” he stated emphatically. The character’s legendary dialogues and comic timing have become synonymous with the franchise’s success.

What Happens Next?
The ball is now in Akshay Kumar and the producers’ court. Once their technical issues are ironed out, expect the original trio to reunite for what could be Bollywood’s most anticipated comedy sequel. Until then, fans can revisit the classic moments that made Hera Pheri a cultural phenomenon.
