Paresh Rawal's lawyers on the actor's exit from Hera Pheri 3

In a new interview with IANS, Paresh Rawal's lawyers, the legal representatives Anand & Naik, reacted to the actor's exit from Hera Pheri 3. They said that the team did not deliver the story, screenplay, and also a draft of a long-form agreement, which was fundamental to the engagement of the actor. 

"In the absence of these and also since Mr. Nadiadwala, the producer of the original films, issued notice to our client and raised issues on the making of the film, our client chose to exit and returned the money with interest by terminating the Term sheet," the lawyers added. 

Meanwhile, Hera Pheri 3 is the third instalment of the popular franchise. As of now, the OG cast, Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty, who played the roles of Raju and Shyam, are fixed for the film. Now, time will tell who will be the new Baburao (played by Paresh Rawal).
