Paresh Rawal has landed in legal trouble following his exit from Hera Pheri 3, after co-star Akshay Kumar's production house, Cape of Good Films, issued a legal notice demanding Rs 25 crore for his abrupt departure. The production house has now claimed that Rawal was paid Rs 11 lakh and, during his association with the film, he never raised any concerns about creative differences. Kumar’s Cape of Good Films confirmed that a legal notice has been sent to Paresh. They have accused him of an 'abrupt, unilateral, and mala fide' withdrawal from Hera Pheri 3. As per Pooja Tidke, Joint Managing Partner at Parinam Law Associates, the actor has faced a Rs 25 crore lawsuit since he had already started filming and received partial remuneration.The statement stated that Hera Pheri 3 teaser shoot commenced on 3rd April 2025, and over 3 minutes of footage was shot with Rawal. The actor had also also engaged in creative discussions and planning with Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty. "Mr Rawal had publicly acknowledged his participation in the film on 30th January 2025 via a post on his official X.com (formerly Twitter) handle. He further formalised his commitment by executing a Term Sheet dated 27th March 2025, pursuant to which he accepted a part payment of Rs 11,00,000/- towards his remuneration. Acting in complete reliance on his public endorsement and contractual commitment, Cape of Good Films incurred substantial production and promotional expenditures, including those for the teaser and initial film shoot, in which Mr Rawal actively participated," read the statement."The sudden and unjustified withdrawal has caused severe financial loss, disrupted schedules, and jeopardised the momentum of a high-value production. In view of this, Cape of Good Films has demanded damages to the tune of Rs 25 crores from Mr Rawal. If the demand is not complied with within seven days, the company will be constrained to pursue appropriate legal remedies, including civil and criminal action," the statement read.Paresh Rawal is yet to react.
