Actor Paresh Rawal recently shocked his fans and the entire team of Hera Pheri 3 after he quit the movie. Akshay Kumar’s production house, Cape of Good Films, has now sent a legal notice to Rawal for his immediate exit. Pooja Tidke, Joint Managing Partner, Parinam Law Associates, has revealed that he has not responded to the notice yet. However, if the reports are to be believed, the actor is said to join the cast again.
Pooja told PTI, “I think there will be severe legal consequences. It’s of course hurt the franchise. We have written to him letting him know that there are a lot of legal consequences involved. There have been expenses incurred towards the cast, towards the crew, towards leading senior actors, logistics equipment, and shooting of the trailer.”
“Thereafter, there were contracts entered into the shooting for the trailer. In fact, there was some portion of about three-and-a-half minutes of the film itself that had been shot. Suddenly, a few days ago, we received a notice from Paresh ji saying that he is no longer associated with the film and doesn’t want to be associated with the film. So it’s taken everybody by shock and surprise, of course,” she further explained.
She continued, “There’s reputational damage involved for the actors that are committed to the film, the franchise as a whole, and of course, there’s a great deal of disappointment among the audience. So we’re optimistic that things will work out, but as of now, we’re facing legal issues.”
Paresh Rawal announced his exit from Hera Pheri 3 on Sunday. The actor took to his official X account and wrote, “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.”
