Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Suniel Shetty became one of the most loved trios of Hindi Cinema after delivering the cult comedy, ‘Hera Pheri’ in 2000. Six years later, the trio came back with ‘Phir Hera Pheri’, and was then seen in several other films like ‘De Dana Dan.’ Last year in November, Paresh Rawal announced that Kartik Aaryan has been roped in for ‘Hera Pheri 3’ replacing Akshay Kumar in the film.
After creating a stir on social media with many strongly expressing their disappointment, the makers finalised the original cast of the film in ‘Hera Pheri 3.’ The original cast comprises Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Suniel Shetty. Now, in an interview with News18, Paresh Rawal addressed the whole episode where he confirmed Kartik Aaryan’s entry and clarified the details regarding the characters.
Watch the official trailer of 'Hera Pheri' attached below:
According to a report in News18, Paresh Rawal said, “Kartik Aaryan had a different role in the film. He wasn’t supposed to play Raju, which was played by Akshay Kumar in the first two films. Kartik’s character wasn’t cut from the same cloth as Raju and was made with a different fabric. Kartik’s role was different and had a different kind of energy than Raju. The premise of his character was different. One shouldn’t be afraid of backlashes. And once people watch a film, they forget all the backlashes.”

Paresh Rawal also revealed that he became over-confident with his ‘Baburao Apte’ character and said, “There was a sense of over-confidence and that shouldn’t have happened. Suniel Shetty anna was earnest and honest and carried the legacy of Shyam in an amazing way. Characters and premise like Hera Pheri come our way very rarely.”
During this time, the actor did not give his all to the character and that’s something he intends not to repeat in ‘Hera Pheri 3.’ He said, “We should work around it very diligently and treat it with a lot of nazaqat. We shouldn’t make it impure. I realised my mistake when I was dubbing for Phir Hera Pheri. Mujhe samajh mein aaya ke maine paap kar diya hai, bahot hi ganda paap kar diya hai. Par maahol hi aisa tha. Having said that, we shouldn’t have become so over-confident.”
