After a period of uncertainty and what seemed like a potential derailment, the highly anticipated "Hera Pheri 3" is back on track, with the original cast set to reunite. Veteran actor Paresh Rawal, who plays the iconic Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, has confirmed his return to the franchise, reassuring fans that the beloved trio of Raju (Akshay Kumar), Baburao, and Shyam (Suniel Shetty) will indeed grace the screen again.

The journey to this point hasn't been without its bumps. There were reports of Rawal exiting the project, which led to a legal tussle. Akshay Kumar, who is also producing the film, reportedly filed a lawsuit related to the project after Rawal's initial departure. However, Rawal later confirmed that the issues had been resolved.

In a recent podcast appearance, Rawal addressed the concerns, stating that any disagreements or issues have been resolved and that there is no bad blood between him and the team. He emphasized the importance of respecting a franchise that holds a special place in people's hearts and stressed that the team must work with sincerity to deliver something worthwhile to the audience.

Rawal's initial hesitation stemmed from a feeling that some "fine-tuning" was needed within the team. He expressed that when something is deeply loved, it must be handled with care, advising that the team shouldn't take things for granted. He also touched upon the creative collaboration, acknowledging that challenges can arise when working with seasoned professionals like Priyadarshan, Akshay Kumar, and Suniel Shetty, but their shared history and friendship make the process meaningful.

The news of Rawal's return has been met with enthusiasm from fans who were disappointed by his initial decision to step away from the project. His character, Baburao, has become a cultural phenomenon, and his absence would have undoubtedly left a void in the film. With Rawal back on board, "Hera Pheri 3" is poised to recapture the magic that made the first two installments so successful.

While the director's name is yet to be officially disclosed, the film is expected to be a hilarious ride, taking the trio on new adventures, possibly even abroad. The shooting for "Hera Pheri 3" had commenced in early 2023, but faced disruptions. The film is being shot in Mumbai and is expected to be filmed in international locations like Los Angeles, Dubai and Abu Dhabi. With the core team back together and a renewed sense of commitment, "Hera Pheri 3" aims to live up to the hype and anticipation surrounding it.
