Fans and moviegoers alike have been taken aback by Paresh Rawal's recent decision to leave "Hera Pheri 3," particularly considering that he has long played a crucial role in the series as the renowned Baburao Ganpatrao Apte. Paresh Rawal has, however, left an Akshay Kumar film numerous times before. The seasoned performer had earlier declined to appear in "OMG 2," the follow-up to the hugely popular "OMG! Oh My God" (2012) film, which also starred Akshay Kumar.In 2023, OMG 2 was launched, with Pankaj Tripathi in place of Paresh Rawal. The actor then disclosed that he purposefully skipped the performance because he didn't find the material compelling. Paresh Rawal told Bollywood Bubble, "I didn't want to be a part of it because I didn't like the script." I dislike creating a follow-up merely to profit from the initial installment, like we did with Hera Pheri. His preference for substance over commercial repetition was evident in his statement.

Paresh Rawal's departure from "Hera Pheri 3" has now generated even more discussion. There have already been some production issues with the third installment of the iconic comedy, which stars Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty. It has been reported that Akshay Kumar, who purchased the film's rights from Feroz Nadiadwala, may even think about suing Paresh Rawal for his resignation.
