Hera Pheri’s ‘Baburao Ganpatrao Apte’ is one of the most iconic characters from the history of Hindi cinema. Played by Paresh Rawal, the dhoti-clad landlord’s innocence, Maharashtrian speaking style and quirky humour have been admired by one and all. He lighted up the screen in the iconic Hera Pheri franchise, which has been a precious memory in the minds of millennials and Gen Z. Over the years, the character has become a cult alongside Akshay’s ‘Raju’ and Suniel Shetty’s ‘Shyam’. The second instalment in the franchise came in 2006, and since then, fans have been waiting for the third part. After lots of ups and downs, it was finally announced a few months ago but before the dream could come true, Paresh Rawal has backed out from the film.
Paresh Rawal has quit Hera Pheri 3 due to creative differences?
Priyadarshan’s Hera Pheri 3 has been among the most highly anticipated films in 2025. In separate events, all three lead characters confirmed their part in the movie and the OG trio of Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal were even seen together leaving the airport a couple of months ago. However, the joy and excitement were short-lived because a recent report by Bollywood Hungama revealed that Paresh Rawal has opted out of the upcoming film.
