The actor had left the franchise mid-way, causing doubt, confusion and chaos not only among his co-stars Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and director Priyadarshan but also fans who were eagerly waiting for Baburao's return with Raju and Shyam (the iconic Hera Pheri franchise directors). Since the teaser of the film was already shot, Akshay, who serves as a producer for the film, sued the actor. Soon after, news of Rawal returning the signing amount with interest started making the rounds. Now, the Bhagam Bhag actor has shared a new statement in which he has confirmed the news.

Once Paresh Rawal quit Hera Pheri 3, Akshay Kumar, who plays the role of Raju in the movie and is the co-producer of the upcoming film, sued the actor for his actions. His statement was about losses incurred since Hera Pheri 3 was in the works when one of the leading actors quit. The teaser of the film was also shot, but it has still not released. The makers would now have to find a replacement, and Pankaj Tripathi as well as Kartik Aaryan's names keep cropping up as replacement, but there is no official confirmation thus far.

There were rumours about Paresh Rawal's exit from Hera Pheri 3 owing to creative differences. That is where Paresh Rawal confirmed that the rumours of him quitting the film are rather true. His actions left Akshay, Suniel as well as Priyadarshan confused. The actor shot for Bhooth Bangla alongside his Welcome co-star and was ready to take Phir Hera Pheri story forward with the third installment, which is when he surprised all with his movie.

The fans are now left confused about the fate of the once much-awaited film.
