Ever since Hera Pheri 3 <\/a>was announced, fans have been eagerly waiting to see the iconic trio of Paresh Rawal<\/a>, Akshay Kumar, and Suniel Shetty reunite on screen. However, the film\u2019s journey has been far from smooth. Earlier this year, Paresh Rawal shocked everyone by announcing his exit from the project, leaving fans deeply disappointed. Fortunately, the issues were later resolved, and he is now officially back with the team.<\/p>\n

In a recent conversation with Pinkvilla<\/a>, director Priyadarshan dismissed all speculation about a fallout between Akshay and Paresh. Instead, he attributed the turmoil to external pressures, hinting at some \u201cbad forces\u201d at play. \u201cParesh 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,\u201d Priyadarshan clarified.<\/p>\n

The filmmaker further recalled how Akshay reacted to the matter, saying, \u201cAkshay told me, \u2018Prince sir, if it happens, let it happen. Otherwise, let\u2019s forget it.\u2019 There were other bad forces creating unnecessary issues, but it\u2019s not worth discussing them. Filmmaking is like this\u2014you have friends, enemies, fans, critics. I still don\u2019t know how I\u2019ve survived 40 years in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Hera Pheri 3 feud<\/p>\n

In May this year, Paresh Rawal\u2019s decision to walk out of Hera Pheri 3 created a storm among fans, many of whom declared they wouldn\u2019t watch the film without him. While rumours suggested creative differences with Priyadarshan, Paresh maintained that he stepped away because he didn\u2019t find the role appealing anymore. Reports even claimed that Akshay Kumar was considering legal action against him over the sudden exit.<\/p>\n

However, by June, Paresh confirmed his return during a chat with Himanshu Mehta on his podcast. He light-heartedly explained, \u201cEarlier too, the film was scheduled to go ahead, but we had to fine-tune ourselves. After all, all of them\u2014Priyadarshan, Akshay, Suniel\u2014are highly creative and friends for many years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the massive success of the first two instalments, the third film in the franchise is expected to go on floors next year. Priyadarshan has also revealed that he hopes to retire from filmmaking after completing Hera Pheri 3 and Akshay Kumar\u2019s Haiwaan, which is currently in production.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ever since Hera Pheri 3 was announced, fans have been eagerly waiting to see the iconic trio of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":79115,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[268],"tags":[6963,434,18,117,19231,19,17,32798,17148],"class_list":{"0":"post-79114","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-akshay-kumar","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-hera-pheri-3","13":"tag-ie","14":"tag-ireland","15":"tag-paresh-rawal","16":"tag-priyadarshan"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79114","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79114"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79114\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/79115"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79114"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79114"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79114"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
