After facing production delays, Bollywood’s beloved comedy franchise Hera Pheri 3 is officially back in development. Fans were concerned when Paresh Rawal reportedly exited the project. However, the good news is: he’s back — and all misunderstandings are now resolved.
Suniel Shetty Breaks Silence on the Dispute
In a recent interview with Mid-Day, Suniel Shetty shared how the tensions between Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal were nothing more than miscommunication. According to him, the two actors always had deep respect for each other.
> “I told them, just talk to each other. Don’t let the world interfere. They never said anything bad about one another. When a journalist once called Paresh ji ‘foolish,’ Akshay immediately stood up for him and said, ‘He’s my friend.’ That moment said it all,” Shetty recalled.
No Public Drama – Just Silent Loyalty
Interestingly, both Akshay and Paresh never publicly addressed the alleged dispute. Their silence, as Shetty explains, wasn’t due to ego — but due to mutual dignity.
This strong bond has lasted over decades, having worked together in cult classics like Hera Pheri, Phir Hera Pheri, and many more.
Paresh Rawal Confirms His Return

> “The film was always meant to happen. We just needed to fine-tune ourselves a bit. Whether it’s Priyadarshan, Akshay, or Suniel — all of us are creative people, and we’ve been friends for years.”
Friendship Wins in Bollywood
The story of Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal is a reminder that in Bollywood, real friendships can overcome professional rifts. Their reunion is not only a delight for fans but also a testament to long-stand
ing respect, trust, and understanding.
