Priyadarshan makes shocking statement on Paresh Rawal's exit from 'Hera Pheri 3': 'I don't care whether it's made or not, Paresh messaged me saying...'

As Paresh Rawal quits Hera Pheri 3, the actor has clarified on Twitter there are no ‘creative differences’ with the makers.

Paresh Rawal had recently 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? Only time will tell.

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Priyadarshan, the man himself has made some shocking statements on the fiasco.

The director said, “I don’t care whether it’s made or not. I was doing it for Akshay. I really don’t want to work anymore. I have some commitments to fulfil. I’ve just completed Bhoot Bungla with Akshay, and I have a film with Akshay and Saif that I am committed to direct. Beyond that, I don’t need this kind of tension. I would rather play with my grandchild than make movies with unprofessional actors.”

He also said, “Paresh indicated nothing. When I heard about his decision, I messaged him to ask what happened. He replied saying I shouldn’t try to call him because he didn’t want to talk about it, and that he does not want to disrespect me. Is this how you show respect? Subhash, I am very, very hurt. There are two actors I’ve worked with the most: Mohanlal and Paresh Rawal. In Hindi, I don’t think there’s any actor I’ve worked with as extensively as Paresh. Every time I wrote a script in Hindi; I would find a proper place for Paresh.”

He added, “I’m in my village right now, peacefully spending time with my relatives, watching the sky. The last thing I need is this kind of tension. I don’t care for the stress of filmmaking anymore. I would be happy to retire right now. I’ve done enough work. I no longer feel excited about filmmaking.”
