Mumbai, May 17 — In what comes as a major emotional blow to fans of Bollywood’s most iconic comedy franchise, veteran actor Paresh Rawal has officially confirmed that he will not be a part of ‘Hera Pheri 3’. The news has sparked widespread disappointment among fans, and also among the franchise’s lead actors — particularly Suniel Shetty, who has now shared a deeply emotional and heartfelt response.

🎬 “If There’s No Babu Bhaiya, There’s No Shyam”
Currently promoting his upcoming film Kesari Veer, Suniel Shetty took a moment to reflect on the future of Hera Pheri 3, following the news of Rawal’s exit. In an emotional statement, he said:

“When we talk about Hera Pheri, if Babu Bhaiya (Paresh Rawal) and Raju (Akshay Kumar) are not part of it, then Shyam (me) doesn’t exist either. Remove any one of us, and the film simply won’t work.”
His words underline what fans have believed for years — that the chemistry between Raju, Shyam, and Babu Bhaiya is the soul of the franchise. Without this iconic trio, the humor and nostalgia that made the first two films legendary would feel incomplete.
⚠️ Creative Differences Behind Exit
According to reports, Paresh Rawal’s departure is rooted in creative disagreements with the film’s producers. While he has publicly confirmed his exit, fans are hoping it isn’t final.
This situation echoes earlier production hiccups when Akshay Kumar and director Priyadarshan had reportedly stepped away from Hera Pheri 3, only to return later. The hope is that history will repeat itself, and Paresh Rawal may yet reprise his beloved role as Babu Bhaiya.
🗣️ Fan Reactions: Hope Still Alive
The internet has been abuzz with fan reactions, many expressing heartbreak over the potential change in the trio but also clinging to optimism. The Hera Pheri franchise isn’t just a comedy series—it’s a cultural phenomenon, and its legacy rests on the unshakable bond between its three protagonists.
🤝 Can the Makers Reunite the Trio?
Industry insiders believe that ongoing negotiations and fan pressure could influence a reversal of Paresh Rawal’s decision. As of now, Suniel Shetty’s candid words reflect not just his own sentiment but also the emotions of millions of fans who grew up laughing with this unforgettable trio.
