Since he revealed that he was leaving the Hera Pheri 3 film, which starred Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal has been in the news. Since the movie’s announcement, the much-anticipated sequel—which was finally coming after twenty years—has been the buzz of the town.

However, Rawal’s abrupt departure has saddened his supporters and stunned everyone. Wait! This is not the first time the renowned actor has abandoned a movie. He has already turned down the sequel to a well-known movie starring Akshay Kumar. Can you guess the movie we’re discussing? This is the solution!

Paresh Rawal has already withdrawn from the 2023 film OMG 2, starring Akshay Kumar. The actor took part in the 2012 release of the prequel OMG! Oh My God. The movie collected about Rs 149.90 crore at the box office. The film’s sequel was released eleven years after its huge popularity. Pankaj Tripathi took Paresh Rawal’s position. OMG 2 grossed in Rs 221.08 crore at the box office. In addition to Pankaj Tripathi and Akshay Kumar, Yami Gautam had a key role in the movie.

Paresh Rawal gave Bollywood Bubble the explanation behind his decision to leave OMG 2. “I didn’t want to be a part of it because I didn’t like the script,” the actor said. I dislike creating a follow-up only to profit off the initial installment, like we did with Hera Pheri.

According to a previous Hindustan Times article, Paresh Rawal starred in the 2009 film Billu Barber, which starred Shah Rukh Khan and Irrfan Khan. He allegedly committed to the project but left the shoot, according to the article. Priyadarshan, who is directing Hera Pheri 3, directed Billu Barber.

The film failed to create a significant impact since, despite having a Rs 27 crore budget, it brought in Rs 47.45 crore at the box office. Lara Dutta, Om Puri, and Rajpal Yadav all had important parts in Billu Barber.
