Akshay Kumar-Paresh Rawal Feud Explained: From Legal Suit to Priyadarshan's Stand; and Will Hera Pheri 3 Ever Get Made

  • Paresh Rawal exited the film Hera Pheri 3 in May 2025, sparking legal action by Akshay Kumar's production house in India.
  • The dispute arose after Rawal returned his Rs 11 lakh signing fee with 15% interest and announced his departure despite some preliminary shooting and promo work.
  • The director Priyadarshan and co-star Akshay Kumar expressed surprise and hurt by Rawal’s exit, denying claims of role cuts or unprofessionalism and noting no prior communication from Rawal.
  • The lawsuit filed by Akshay’s Cape of Good Films seeks Rs 25 crore in damages, with legal representatives warning of severe consequences and the franchise reportedly suffering harm.
  • These developments have placed the highly anticipated sequel in uncertainty, with shooting postponed to next year and mediation suggested as the only path to salvage the film.
