₹25 Crore Legal Notice from Akshay Kumar’s Production
On May 20, 2025, it was reported that Cape of Good Films, Akshay Kumar’s production house, has sent a legal notice of ₹25 crore to Paresh Rawal. The notice claims compensation for the losses caused by his sudden departure from the project.
According to sources, shooting for the film had already begun, and a promo video was also filmed. Paresh’s exit at this stage reportedly caused a major disruption to the production schedule and financial plans.
Fans React Strongly
The news has triggered a strong emotional response from fans. Social media is filled with messages like “No Paresh, No Hera Pheri”. Viewers have expressed that the trio of Akshay, Suniel, and Paresh is what made Hera Pheri so special.
Many believe that without Paresh Rawal’s Babu Bhaiya, the third installment of the film would feel incomplete and less entertaining.

The makers have not announced who might replace Paresh Rawal or how they plan to move forward. The production team is reportedly reviewing options and may revise the script to adjust to the changes.
For now, fans can only hope that a solution is found soon — and that Babu Bhaiya might return to the screen once more.
