Bollywood’s cult comedy franchise Hera Pheri is back in the spotlight, and this time with a piece of great news—Paresh Rawal is all set to reprise his iconic role as Baburao Ganpatrao Apte in Hera Pheri 3. The actor, who had previously announced his exit from the franchise, recently dropped major hints about his comeback in an interview with Bollywood Hungama.
The announcement comes as a relief to fans who were heartbroken when Rawal revealed earlier this year that he would not be part of the upcoming film. But now, it looks like the trio—Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal—is reuniting for another laugh riot.
What Did Paresh Rawal Say?
Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, Rawal said,
“Everything is fine now. We just needed to sit and talk things out. If the audience loves something, we should come together and give them what they expect—with our best effort.”
He emphasized the importance of unity in delivering quality cinema and hinted that all past issues with the film and its team had been resolved.
“Akshay Is a Good Friend”
Clearing the air on his rumored rift with Akshay Kumar, Rawal added,
“Priyadarshan, Suniel, Akshay—they’re all good friends. We’ve worked on several films together.”
Though the producers of Hera Pheri 3 have yet to release an official statement, Rawal’s comments strongly suggest that the team is back on track.
The Controversy That Shocked Fans
Back in May 2025, reports surfaced that Paresh Rawal had opted out of Hera Pheri 3. His confirmation via social media left fans disheartened, casting doubt on the future of the film. However, with his recent comments, it seems the beloved trio is back, and fans can once again look forward to seeing Baburao’s hilarious antics on screen.
