Ashish Chanchlani Urges Paresh Rawal To Reconsider Exit From Hera Pheri 3: 'We Need Babu Bhaiya'
Last Updated: Ashish Chanchlani urges Paresh Rawal to return as Babu Bhaiya in Hera Pheri 3, calling him the soul of the franchise. Fans echo the sentiment online. Veteran actor Paresh Rawal's abrupt exit from Hera Pheri 3 has sparked a wave of disappointment among fans — and now, even prominent content creators are joining the chorus urging him to return. Popular YouTuber Ashish Chanchlani recently appealed to the actor on social media, calling him the 'soul" of the iconic comedy franchise and requesting him to rethink his decision. The situation escalated in May when Paresh confirmed he would not be returning as the beloved Babu Bhaiya, a character that has become synonymous with the Hera Pheri universe. His departure came as a shock, especially after reports revealed that Akshay Kumar's production house, Cape of Good Films, had filed a Rs 25 crore lawsuit against him for walking out midway through the project. It all began when a fan tagged Paresh Rawal on X (formerly Twitter) and pleaded with him to rejoin the cast, writing, 'Sir, please think once again about joining the Hera Pheri movie. You are the hero of this movie." In response, Paresh wrote, 'NO… There are three heroes in Hera Pheri," referencing the trio of himself, Akshay Kumar, and Suniel Shetty. Ashish Chanchlani, echoing the sentiments of many fans, replied to Paresh's tweet with heartfelt words: 'Paresh sir, I am sure you must be feeling burnt out by Babu Bhaiya… But we all genuinely request you to come back. You are truly the soul of this franchise. I hope you find a way." Paresh sir, i am sure you must be feeling burnt out by babu bhaiya,Its a tough situation for you that no one will understandBut we all genuinely request you to come backYou are truly the soul of this franchise❤️I hope you find a way— Ashish Chanchlani (@ashchanchlani) June 9, 2025 While Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty have been confirmed for Hera Pheri 3, the fate of Babu Bhaiya — arguably the franchise's most iconic character — remains uncertain. Meanwhile, legal tensions continue to unfold. A lawyer representing Akshay's production house claimed that Rawal was paid Rs 11 lakh for his involvement and never raised any issues regarding the script or direction. The suit alleges that Paresh's exit was 'abrupt, unilateral, and mala fide," especially since he had already participated in early filming activities. However, sources close to Paresh Rawal have disputed this narrative. Speaking to IANS, a source clarified: 'Calling someone like Paresh Rawal, a stalwart with four decades of iconic work, 'unprofessional' is not just unfair, it's laughable. Let's be clear: the film hadn't even started. There was a promo shoot, not a film schedule. The real shoot is planned for next year." As the legal and public drama unfolds, fans are still holding out hope that the original trio — Raju, Shyam, and Babu Bhaiya — will be reunited on screen once more. But for now, the question remains: will Paresh Rawal return to the role that defined an era of Indian comedy? First Published:
