Actor Paresh Rawal, who made a special place in the hearts of people with the character of Babu Bhaiya in the 'Hera Pheri' franchise, is constantly in the news these days. Recently, he officially distanced himself from 'Hera Pheri 3', after which now the news has come out that he has returned the signing amount received for the film along with interest.
According to reports, Paresh Rawal was given Rs 11 lakh as signing amount for the film 'Hera Pheri 3', which he has returned with 15 percent annual interest. It is said that the actor has paid a little more than the fixed amount so that the producer side does not face any inconvenience. Media sources say that Paresh Rawal was to be paid a total fee of Rs 15 crore for this film. Out of this, Rs 11 lakh had already been given as signing amount and the remaining Rs 14 crore 89 lakh was to be given a month after the release of the film. But Paresh Rawal did not agree to these conditions, so he decided to distance himself from the project.
If sources are to be believed, the film 'Hera Pheri 3' cannot be released before the end of 2026, so the long wait and the complexity of the terms became the main reason for Paresh Rawal's decision. At the same time, it has also come to light that a company named 'Cape of Good Films', which is associated with the film, has filed a claim of Rs 25 crore against Paresh Rawal. The company alleges that the actor's sudden exit from the film has caused them huge financial losses.
After this entire controversy, the situation has become a bit uncomfortable for the film and its fans, because it will not be easy for the fans to imagine 'Hera Pheri 3' without Babu Bhaiya.
