As Paresh Rawal confirms departure from the beloved franchise, Suniel Shetty underscores the irreplaceable chemistry of the original cast, expressing concerns over the film’s future without the iconic trio.

The ‘Hera Pheri’ franchise, cherished for its comedic brilliance and the unforgettable trio of Raju, Shyam, and Baburao, faces uncertainty as veteran actor Paresh Rawal officially steps away from the upcoming third installment. Rawal, renowned for his portrayal of Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, clarified that his decision was not due to creative differences or financial disputes, leaving fans disheartened and urging his return.

In response to Rawal’s exit, Suniel Shetty, who plays Shyam, expressed deep concern over the franchise’s direction. He emphasized that the essence of ‘Hera Pheri’ lies in the unique chemistry between the original trio, stating, “If it wasn’t Babu Bhai (Paresh Rawal) and Raju (Akshay Kumar), Shyam wouldn’t exist, and Shyam has no meaning.”

The production of ‘Hera Pheri 3’ has experienced several shifts, including Akshay Kumar’s initial withdrawal and subsequent return, and the reinstatement of original director Priyadarshan. With Rawal’s departure, the film’s future remains uncertain, as fans and cast members alike hope for the reunion of the iconic ensemble that defined the franchise’s success.

Meanwhile, Suniel Shetty continues to engage audiences with his upcoming historical drama ‘Kesari Veer,’ where he portrays the 14th-century warrior Vegdaji Bhil. The role demanded rigorous physical preparation, including mastering heavy weaponry and enduring challenging shooting conditions, showcasing Shetty’s dedication to bringing unsung historical heroes to the forefront.

As the ‘Hera Pheri’ series navigates its next chapter, the absence of one of its cornerstone actors casts a shadow over its anticipated return, leaving fans yearning for the magic of the original trio.
