Paresh Rawal's controversial exit from Hera Pheri 3

Paresh Rawal disappointed several fans by announcing his exit from Hera Pheri 3 after the film went on floors. This invited not just ire from fans but also legal trouble for the actor. Akshay Kumar's production house, Cape Of Good Films, sued the actor for breach of contract and demanded ₹25 crore. As a result, Paresh Rawal returned the signing amount of Hera Pheri 3 and also reportedly added a 15% interest on the amount.

Despite the wild rumours and speculations around the movie, Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal have not badmouthed each other in the matter. Suniel Shetty, who plays a pivtoal role in the film, shared that he has respect for the veteran actor and that the movie will not be made without him. As of now, there is no announcement on whether Hera Pheri 3 will go on floors or be shelved.
