MUMBAI: In a twist that seems straight out of a Hindi movie script, veteran actor Paresh Rawal’s brief exit from Hera Pheri 3 has left fans and industry insiders wondering was it a genuine fallout or a masterstroke in marketing?
Just weeks ago, headlines were abuzz with the shocking revelation that Rawal, beloved for his iconic portrayal of Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, had walked away from the much-anticipated third instalment of the Hera Pheri franchise.
The news sent fans into a frenzy, sparking debates and disappointment across social media. Rawal even confirmed his departure, citing creative differences.
However, in a dramatic turn of events, the actor has now re-joined the project and this sudden reversal has prompted speculation that the entire saga may have been a calculated publicity stunt to reignite interest in the film.

As finally the actor has confirmed that he is a part of the movie and now the matter is resolved and hence it somewhere seems like a PR stagey stunt.
With Hera Pheri 3 already one of the most awaited releases of 2025, the buzz surrounding Rawal’s temporary exit may have only served to heighten anticipation. Whether by design or default, the strategy appears to have worked wonders in keeping the spotlight firmly on the franchise.
One thing is certain with Rawal back on board alongside Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty, the original trio is officially reunited, and fans can once again look forward to the return of classic comedic chaos.
