Mumbai, May 25 -- The much-loved Hera Pheri series has hit a big roadblock. Paresh Rawal, who played the funny and famous Babu Bhaiya, has left Hera Pheri 3. What followed was a legal fight, online drama, and upset fans.

Why Did Paresh Rawal Leave?

On May 25, Paresh Rawal posted on X (formerly Twitter) that his lawyer had sent a legal reply explaining why he quit the film. He said his exit was fair and all issues will be sorted once the team reads the response.

Reports say Rawal left because of payment delays. He was given Rs. 11 lakh as signing amount, but the rest of his Rs. 15 crore fee would come only after the film's release, which may take two years. So, he returned the Rs. 11 lakh, added 15% interest, and a bit extra too.
