The announcement of the original cast members, Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Suniel Shetty, returning for 'Hera Pheri 3' initially thrilled fans. However, disappointment followed when Paresh Rawal revealed he would not be part of the film, leading to Akshay Kumar issuing a legal notice. In a surprising turn of events, Rawal has now confirmed his return, leaving director Priyadarshan astonished.

In an interview with a media outlet, Priyadarshan shared, 'Both Akshay and Paresh reached out to inform me that everything has been resolved. I was taken aback when Paresh said, ‘Sir, I’m back in the film.’ He expressed his respect for me, mentioning our long-standing collaboration of 26 films, and apologized for his earlier decision, citing personal matters as the reason for his exit. He noted that he, Akshay, and Suniel had a cordial meeting to sort things out.

Previously, addressing the controversy surrounding his departure from 'Hera Pheri 3', Paresh Rawal stated on a podcast, 'There’s no controversy. When audiences cherish something, we must be extra cautious. It’s our duty to them. They have shown us immense love, and we cannot take that lightly. We must work hard to deliver a great film.'

He further emphasized, 'I believe everyone should unite and put in the effort. Everything is resolved now.'

Confirming his participation in the film, Rawal added, 'The film was always meant to happen; we just needed to align ourselves better. All involved, including Priyadarshan, Akshay, and Suniel, have been friends for many years.'

Details regarding the release date and additional cast members for 'Hera Pheri 3' remain undisclosed.
