Islamabad, June 30, 2025: After months of choas, actor Paresh Rawal has finally confirmed his comeback to Hera Pheri 3, stating that all matters have been “settled now.”
Earlier, Paresh had declared his departure from the beloved franchise, calling it a “justified” move and expressing that he no longer felt connected to the project.
During a recent podcast with Himanshu Mehta, when questioned about the Hera Pheri situation, Paresh Rawal said, “There’s no controversy. I believe that when people have loved something so much, then you have to be extra careful. It is our responsibility toward the audience. The audience has given you so much adulation. You can’t take things for granted.”
He further mentioned, “I only wanted everyone to join hands and work hard. Nothing more. Everything has been cleared up now.”
When the host asked again if the film with the original cast was going ahead, Paresh responded, “It was always going to happen, but we just had to adjust ourselves a bit (laughs). Priyadarshan, Akshay, and Suniel are all creative and old friends.”
