Hera Pheri 3 Controversy: The upcoming highly anticipated movie Hera Pheri 3 has been making headlines for controversial reasons. After the sudden exit of Paresh Rawal, Akshay Kumar, who is also the producer of the movie and the rest of the team have been disappointed. There is an ongoing feud and legal battle between Paresh and the Hera Pheri team. Amidst this, Akshay finally broke his silence on the matter for the first time. He stated that whatever has happened is a very serious issue and it will be handled by the court.
During the trailer launch of Housefull 5, Akshay Kumar reacted to the ongoing controversy over Paresh Rawal's midway exit from the movie. He was heard saying, "I’ve worked with him since the last 30 years. 32 saal see unke saath kaam karte aya hoon. We are very good friends. He is a great actor. I really admire him. I don’t think this is a place where I am going to talk about it. Because whatever has to happen — it is a very serious matter — it is a matter which is going to be handled by the court. I don’t think I’m going to speak about it here."

He also asked the journalist to choose words wisely to talk about his co-star Paresh Rawal. “Using this kind of word for my co-star like a foolish word — I would not appreciate it," Akshay said.
Paresh Rawal made a shocking announcement about his exit from Hera Pheri 3 on May 18. Since then, he has been in the news, with fans demanding his return as Baburao and questions about his exit, which has taken a legal turn. He even revealed that his decision was not due to creative differences with director Priyadarshan. However, the filmmaker was also shocked after not receiving any explanation from the actor for his departure. Rawal has been sued by Akshay Kumar's production company, Cape of Good Films, which is involved in Hera Pheri 3, seeking Rs 25 crore in damages for his decision to step away from the project midway. The veteran actor informed his followers through a social media post that his legal team is looking into the matter and that he has responded to the case filed by the film's team.
