Hera Pheri 3, a film that generated excitement for the reunion of the iconic trio of Paresh Rawal, Akshay Kumar, and Suniel Shetty, made headlines due to its controversy following Paresh Rawal's exit from the film. After his public announcement, he faced a potential lawsuit. However, the actor later confirmed that all differences have been resolved and he is set to reunite with Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty. His exit deeply disappointed fans and sparked a debate online about what made him leave the film in the middle. Now, filmmaker Priyadharshan has revealed that there were never any issues between him and Paresh. He also stated that he had no problems with Akshay, but there were others, whom he called 'bad force', that pressured him.

In a recent chat with Pinkvilla, filmmaker Priyadharshan opened up about the controversy surrounding his upcoming movie Hera Pheri 3 after Paresh Rawal's exit. He said, "Paresh and I never had an issue. To the best of my knowledge, even Akshay and Paresh never had any problems. There were other forces, bad forces, who were pressurising Paresh. He is someone who worries about his health, but that has never affected our relationship."

Recalling how Akshay reacted to the matter, the filmmaker stated, “Akshay told me, ‘Prince sir, if it happens, let it happen. Otherwise, let’s forget it.’ There were other bad forces creating unnecessary issues, but it’s not worth discussing them. Filmmaking is like this—you have friends, enemies, fans, critics. I still don’t know how I’ve survived 40 years in the industry.”
