The character of Babu Bhaiya played by Paresh Rawal is one of the most delightful characters in Hindi cinema. Co-stars like Suniel Shetty have also expressed doubt as to whether Hera Pheri 3 will be able to sustain the same magic without Rawal.

The controversy following Rawal's exit
Akshay gave Paresh a paper to sign for Hera Pheri 3 and said that the full agreement would come later. However, Rawal was unsure as he didn't see any script. 'Akshay told him, 'Don't worry, trust me. You'll see it later in the longform agreement.' Based on his personal rapport with Kumar and acting in good faith, Paresh Rawal signed the term sheet," the source shared.
'The promo was eventually filmed on the Bhooth Bangla set, with some modifications. Shooting was initially scheduled to begin in 2026. Rawal suggested deferring the promo shoot to next year. To date, Paresh Rawal has not received a long term agreement, script, or any official production details,' the source added.
As per TOI, a source close to Rawal, said, 'Paresh Rawal has a longstanding investment in the character of Baburao Ganpatrao Apte (Babu Bhaiya) and wanted to have clarity before proceeding.'
Akshay Kumar is still hopeful and believes that the film will be successful even with Paresh Rawal. But Paresh Rawal's character as Baburao, who plays a kind of bridge between Raju (Akshay Kumar) and Shyam (Suniel Shetty) in the Hera Pheri films, will be hugely missed by all cinema lovers. What do you think will Hera Pheri 3 be accepted by the audiences the way it was without the presence of Rawal?
