If there is one film series that Indians treat like family property, it is ‘Hera Pheri’. Baburao, Raju, and Shyam are not just characters. They are emotions. So when ‘Hera Pheri 3’ was announced, fans clapped, danced, and said, “Ab maja aayega!” But soon, instead of laughter, there was confusion, tension, and full-on gossip. Lawsuits, fights, delays, all together. Now finally, Paresh Rawal has spoken, and yes, Babu Rao has cleared the air.

‘Hera Pheri 3’ will happen, says Paresh Rawal
Paresh Rawal, the man behind the legendary Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, has confirmed that ‘Hera Pheri 3’ will definitely be made. Speaking on ‘The Lavari Show’, the National Award-winning actor said fans should relax and stop worrying.
According to him, all the drama floating around the film does not mean the project is dead. In fact, he clearly said, “It will happen 100%.”
What is the real problem? Akshay Kumar vs makers
So why is the film stuck? Paresh Rawal explained that the delay is due to technical issues between Akshay Kumar and the film’s producers. He made it clear that the problem has nothing to do with him personally.
Addressing reports about Akshay Kumar suing him for Rs 25 crore, Rawal laughed it off in his own style. He said all that noise is like “kachva chaap agarbatti”, basically smoke, no real fire.
He added that once Akshay Kumar and the makers sort out their technical matters, he will happily sign the film.
‘Hera Pheri’ without Babu Rao? “Disaster,” says Rawal
Here came the strongest statement of the interview. Paresh Rawal openly said that ‘Hera Pheri’ without Babu Rao would be a disaster. He admitted this “even at the cost of modesty.”
According to him, the soul of ‘Hera Pheri’ lies in its original trio of Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and himself. Changing that formula would be risky and disappointing for fans.
In simple words, no Babu Rao means no real ‘Hera Pheri’.
