Oops! Akshay Kumar suing Paresh Rawal for Hera Pheri 3 exit is unacceptable; Priyadarshan supports Akki's actions?

Hera Pheri franchise fans were shocked when the news of Paresh Rawal exiting Hera Pheri 3 hit the web. As is known Paresh Rawal played the iconic character of Babu Bhaiyya in Hera Pheri 1 and 2 and the franchise fans cannot imagine a threequel without his presence. A few social media users also started demanding that the makers should drop the idea of making the third part if Paresh Rawal is not going to play Babu bhaiyya.

While the Raja actor did say in his follow-up post that he is not quitting the franchise due to any creative differences with the maker, fans continued to have doubts about the overall situation. And now the news that  Akshay Kumar who is also the co-producer of Hera Pheri 3 has decided to sue Paresh Rawal for leaving the movie halfway has left the fans dumbfounded.

Is Akshay Kumar suing Paresh Rawal for Hera Pheri 3 exit?

The buzz about Akshay Kumar planning to sue his old-time co-actor Paresh Rawal for exiting Hera Pheri 3 has shocked Bollywood fans. Reports are adrift that the Bollywood superstar has decided to sue Paresh for 25 crores which does not seem possible. There have been speculations that all this news about the actor leaving Hera Pheri 3 or Akshay Kumar suing his co-actor for 25 crores is being planted to increase the hype for the threequel.

Many web users have echoed the same feeling saying that one fine day, Shyam aka Suniel Shetty will settle all the disputes and Paresh Rawal will once again join the franchise as Babu bhaiyya. That is why fans believe that there is much more to this news than what is currently being circulated. Amid all this buzz, Paresh Rawal recently shared his reason for leaving the threequel saying, “I know it came as a shock to many. We three make a great combination with Priyadarshanji directing us, but the fact is that I opted out because today I don’t feel like a part of it.”

What’s #HeraPheri without #PareshRawal? A disappointment! The actor tells us why he is not doing the film. But as Paresh ji says himself "I always say never say never for anything."

Director Priyadarshan reacts to Paresh Rawal's exit

Director Priyadarshan who brought to life Hera Pheri on the big screen showed full support to Akshay Kumar and said, "I don't know why this happened because Paresh didn't inform us. Before starting the film, Akshay asked me to check with both Paresh and Suniel and I did and both were onboard." He further added, "I don't have anything to lose but Akshay has invested money and that could be the reason why he is taking this action. Paresh Rawal hasn't spoken to me till date."
