In a dramatic turn of events that has taken Bollywood insiders and fans by surprise, reports are emerging that superstar Akshay Kumar is allegedly preparing to take legal action against veteran actor and co-star Paresh Rawal over complications surrounding the much-anticipated shoot of Hera Pheri 3. According to industry sources, Akshay is contemplating filing a lawsuit demanding compensation of ₹25 crore, accusing Rawal of intentionally causing disruptions that led to major delays in the film’s production schedule.
Hera Pheri 3 has been in development for quite some time, with fans eagerly awaiting the reunion of the iconic trio – Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal – who brought the beloved franchise to life. However, the road to production has reportedly been riddled with creative disagreements, miscommunications, and now, potentially legal consequences.
Insiders suggest that the conflict stems from internal disputes over the direction and structure of the third installment in the hit comedy series. Allegedly, Paresh Rawal’s involvement in certain behind-the-scenes decisions may have led to tensions escalating. It is being claimed that his alleged interference or withdrawal from key promotional and shoot commitments impacted timelines, causing delays that incurred significant financial losses for the production team.
A source close to the development stated, “Akshay Kumar has always been professional and dedicated to his projects. He had blocked dates, committed to schedules, and made arrangements based on prior agreements. However, the repeated setbacks have not only caused logistical chaos but also financial strain. The actor and his legal team are now considering a defamation and damages suit.”
Though the exact details of the alleged sabotage remain under wraps, some reports hint that Paresh Rawal may have voiced creative concerns publicly or influenced other stakeholders in a way that compromised the harmony required to push the film forward smoothly. If proven, this could place him in a difficult position legally.
As of now, neither Akshay Kumar nor Paresh Rawal has issued an official public statement confirming or denying the reports, leaving fans speculating about the true extent of the fallout. What was once seen as a joyful comeback for the beloved comic franchise has now become a hotbed of controversy and potential courtroom drama.
Meanwhile, supporters of the franchise are expressing disappointment, with many hoping the issue can be resolved amicably. “We just want to see Raju, Shyam, and Baburao back on screen,” a fan wrote on social media. “Please don’t let legal battles ruin something we’ve waited so long for.”
With Hera Pheri 3 already attracting significant buzz, it remains to be seen whether this legal development will derail the film entirely or push the involved parties toward reconciliation. Until then, all eyes remain on how this real-life drama unfolds behind the scenes of one of Bollywood’s most beloved film series.
