Comedy star Johny Lever has chimed in on the uncertainty surrounding Hera Pheri 3’s future in light of Paresh Rawal’s rumored departure, urging Rawal and Akshay Kumar to reconcile. In a recent interview with Zoom, Lever fervently urged the legendary three to get back together for the third installment of the beloved trilogy.

“Kyunki fans really miss Paresh ji ko film mein, maza nahi aayega na waisa unke bina, mujhe lagta hai ki kar lena chahiye unko film, baithke baat karein, matter solve karein.” Meri nazar mein to yahi sahi hai, to baat karke solution karlena chahiye,” he said.

Johny also revealed that he would be a member of Hera Pheri 3 in the same discussion. “Mujhe bhi Hera Pheri ki dhamki aa chuki hai, ki aap booked ho (sic),” he said, laughing.

Lever also discussed Housefull 5, his next comedy, which will be released on June 6, 2025. Fans were promised endless amusement by the seasoned comedian.

Soch bhi nahi sakte ki fans, iss baar itna zyada maza aane wala haina. Story bilkul alag hai, humor se bhari hui hai, or saba kirdaar ek se badhkar ek hai. He said, “Fans, hurry up and thaq jayenge ye guarantee hai (sic).”

The Hera Pheri 3 Exit of Paresh Rawal

After veteran actor Paresh Rawal left the movie and accused Akshay Kumar and the production crew of not giving him a suitable screenplay or a long-term contract, the drama grabbed center stage. Paresh Rawal decided to leave the movie because he was dissatisfied with how it was being handled, which caused a lot of discussion among fans and in the business.

In response to his departure, Akshay had previously said, “I’ve worked with him for the past 30 years.” 32 saal se kaam karte aya hoon unke saath. We have a close friendship. He’s a fantastic actor. He is someone I really appreciate. In my opinion, this is not the appropriate forum for discussing it. The court will address the case because it is a very serious subject, regardless of what happens. It is unlikely that I will discuss it here.

Rawal’s depiction of Baburao garnered a lot of fan affection, and both the original Hera Pheri (2000) and its follow-up Phir Hera Pheri (2006) have cult status.
