As Paresh Rawal quits Hera Pheri 3, the actor has clarified on Twitter there are no ‘creative differences’ with the makers.
Rawal tweeted- “I wish to put it on record that my decision to step away from Hera Pheri 3 was not due to creative differences. I REITERATE THAT THERE ARE NO CREATIVE DISAGREEMENT WITH THE FILM MAKER . I hold immense love, respect, and faith in Mr. Priyadarshan the film director.”
But now, a viral post of a crew member on this film has shared a long note that possibly hints at the makers’ unprofessionalism. Was that the reason why Rawal quit?
Now Akshay Kumar’s production house has sued Rawal for his exit from Hera Pheri 3 for Rs 25 crore.
A source close to Akshay Kumar’s production house was quoted saying, “Paresh showed a blatant disregard for professional ethics and business conduct.”
The source added, “If he had no intention of completing the film, he should have said so before signing the contract, accepting the advance.”
It continued, “And causing the producer to invest heavily in the shoot.”
“It’s time Bollywood actors understand that, just like Hollywood, producers here won’t tolerate actors flouting contracts and walking out of projects at will,” the source added.
Netizens share reactions
One commented- “Good. Even Hera Pheri 2 was boring, while original one was legendary film.”
He added, “Repetitive and predictable jokes are always boring. Ideally Hera Pheri 3 should never come.”
And another said, “Sir, you have earned immense love, respect, money, everything from acting career.”
He continued, “Now it’s time to expose Bollywood to the country so that people will know the reality how those Khan Nexus work there.”
When Hera Pheri 3 was officially annouced with our beloved iconic characters - Raju (Akshay Kumar), Shyam (Suniel Shetty) and Baburao Ganpatrao Apte (Paresh Rawal), it created humongous buzz among the fans.
