The buzz around Hera Pheri 3 just won’t die down. Known as one of Bollywood’s most iconic comedy franchises, the third installment has found itself surrounded by drama before even hitting the floors. The latest twist? Actor Paresh Rawal, who allegedly walked out after just one day of shooting, might now be returning — and it’s his wife who’s adding fuel to the speculation.

Earlier reports suggested that Paresh Rawal, who plays the legendary character Babu Bhaiya, backed out of Hera Pheri 3 after a single day of filming. This came as a shock to co-stars Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and director Priyadarshan. Rumors intensified when it was claimed that the production team sent a legal notice to Rawal demanding ₹25 crore in damages.
