Paresh Rawal has once again reassured fans that Hera Pheri 3 is definitely happening—but clarified that the latest delay isn’t on him. Speaking about the film’s status, Rawal reportedly said the franchise will “hundred percent” move forward while pointing to a “technical” complication involving Akshay Kumar and the makers that needs to be resolved first.
What’s Holding It Up?
Instead of framing the pause as a pure “dates/scheduling” problem, Rawal’s comments (as reported) suggest the roadblock is more of an internal/logistical issue between Akshay and the production side. In other words: the film is on, but the paperwork/terms/process need alignment before it can roll smoothly.
The Backstory Fans Haven’t Forgotten
The update lands after last year’s turbulence, when reports said Akshay Kumar’s banner issued a ₹25 crore legal notice to Paresh Rawal after Rawal briefly exited the project—an episode that became a major flashpoint around the film’s future.
Adding to the uncertainty back then, Rawal’s legal team was also quoted saying he was never provided a proper script—which is why “script locked” is not a safe claim unless you have a fresh, attributable quote stating that.
What We Know So Far
- Cast: The core trio—Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal—remains the intended plan whenever the issues are settled.
- Director: Priyadarshan has been widely reported as returning to direct Hera Pheri 3.
- Timeline: No locked shoot date or release window is officially confirmed in the latest round of updates—everything hinges on the “technical issue” being cleared.
Bottom Line
Hera Pheri 3 isn’t a rumour—it’s a project in motion, temporarily stuck at the clearance gate. And if the reported Akshay–makers issue gets resolved, the Baburao–Raju–Shyam reunion is back on the table.
