’Publicity Stunt Tha...' Paresh Rawal’s Green Light to Hera Pheri 3 Raises Questions, Internet in Overdrive

After all the heated controversy, Paresh Rawal is now confirming his return to Hera Pheri 3. While this is definitely a sign of relief for all the Hera Pheri fans, people are not seeing this controversy in a good light.

Netizens are now suspecting all of this as a publicity stunt only to capture greater attention. However, our beloved Baburao Bhaiya provides some valid reasons for his actions, too. 

Paresh Rawal Hints at Comeback with Hera Pheri 3

In a recent podcast, as posed by journalist Narendra Nath Mishra on his X handle, we can see Paresh Rawal toning down. He sheds light on the controversy of Hera Pheri 3, revealing why he wanted to drop the project. The veteran actor says in his defence, "Jab cheez itni logon ko bhati hai, toh aapko careful rehna padta hai. Yeh hamari responsibility hai audience ke liye—mehnat karke unko do."

परेश रावल नरम पड़ रहे।हेरा फेरी 3 का हिस्सा बन सकते हैं।

मतलब उनका प्रोजेक्ट से अलग होना और अक्षय कुमार का उनपर केस करना पब्लिसिटी स्टंट था? संकेत यही है।

वैसे यह भी सही है कि बिना परेश रावल हेरा फेरी अधूरा रहता । इस फ़िल्म को ऐसी पब्लिसिटी स्टंट की ज़रूरत नहीं थी pic.twitter.com/fjpkk138Tl

This clarifies that the sincere actor was somewhat disappointed with the project and wanted the film to be made more responsibly. He stressed, "You can't take things for granted", as people expect much from the Hera Pheri franchise. But the good news is that he notes that all the issues he had with the project are now resolved.

He confirms that Hera Pheri 3 will soon head to the theatres, that too with its original cast. Putting an end to the ongoing controversy, he says, "It is all resolved now".

Hera Pheri 3 Update Sparks Buzz Among Netizens

People are more than happy knowing that their favourite Baburao has finally agreed to return to Hera Pheri. However, they are also seeing this back-and-forth move as "publicity propaganda". They are hinting towards the hidden planning of the makers, saying, "Soche isse thoda jaisa PR milega." But the question remains: does the Hera Pheri franchise truly need any such publicity stunts?

Some are thus also defending by saying, "Woh publicity stunt tha bhi nahin, aapne hi galat socha." This makes more sense as; while making such highly anticipated movies, arguments can occur between creative minds. Paresh Rawal himself was hinting at it, saying it was necessary to tone down the things and get the creative minds to work in sync.

Akshay Kumar Controversy: Was it a Publicity Stunt?

The Hera Pheri 3 controversy was not a publicity stunt, as legal charges were levelled at the veteran actor for leaving the film in mid-shoot. Akshay Kumar's banner, Cape of Good Films, allegedly charges him Rs. 25 crores for the disruption. 

Rawal also returned his Rs 11 lakh signing amount to the franchise, clarifying his right to withdraw. But all of these arguments now seem to have a happy ending for fans. Now, all are eagerly expecting the final product.
