From his big glasses and white dhoti to his hilarious one-liners like \u2018Ladki ka chakkar Babu Bhaiya\u2019 and \u2018Arey tu jaa re\u2019, the character of Baburao Ganpatrao Apte from the hit film \u2018Hera Pheri\u2019 has become a cult favourite across generations. Actor <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/paresh-rawal\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paresh Rawal<\/a> brought the role to life with his perfect comic timing and unforgettable expressions, making Baburao one of the most loved comedy characters in Bollywood.Paresh recently shocked fans when he revealed that he would not be returning as Baburao in the much-awaited \u2018Hera Pheri 3\u2019, directed by <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/priyadarshan\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Priyadarshan<\/a>. His decision left fans disappointed.In an earlier interview with The Lallantop, Rawal had confessed that while people still adore Baburao, the role now feels like a trap to him. Speaking candidly, he said his \u2018Hera Pheri\u2019 character feels like a \u201cgale ka phanda\u201d- a noose around his neck \u201cI felt choked. I need mukti.\u201dRawal didn\u2019t hold back while explaining his feelings about being typecast. He shared how he once went to filmmaker <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/vishal-bhardwaj\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vishal Bhardwaj<\/a> in 2007, just a year after \u2018Hera Pheri 2\u2019 was released, asking for a different kind of role. He said, &#8220;I went to Vishal Bhardwaj [director] in 2007. In 2006, Hera Pheri 2 was released. I told him that I have a film. I want to get rid of this image. You are the person who can offer me a completely different role in the same getup.&#8221; Bhardwaj was curious why Rawal wanted to move on from such a popular role. To this, Rawal responded, &#8220;Whoever comes to me, he has an image of Hera Pheri in mind. I am an actor. I don&#8217;t want to get stuck at one place.&#8221;This shows how deeply Rawal felt about his artistic journey. As he explained further, &#8220;I asked him to offer me a new character in the same getup. I felt happy but dum ghutta hai (I felt choked). I need mukti (liberation) from that role.\u201dParesh Rawal\u2019s exit from \u2018Hera Pheri 3\u2019When news emerged that Paresh Rawal had quit \u2018Hera Pheri 3\u2019, many people assumed it was because of creative differences. However, the actor was quick to clear up the misunderstanding and put the rumours to rest. He stated, \u201cI 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paresh Rawal QUITS Hera Pheri 3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Who doesn\u2019t love Babu Bhaiya?
