Mumbai, May 17 - Over the last few years, Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty, and Paresh Rawal's comedy entertainer Hera Pheri 3 has been the centre of media attraction, for all the right as well as wrong reasons. The film was officially confirmed, but without any clarity on when it would start. ## For the last few weeks, the chatter around the film has picked up, and it is said that the mahurat shot took place recently. Suneil Shetty confirmed that the makers would release an announcement video in May, but the latest development has once again put the movie in deep trouble. ## According to the latest report by Bollywood Hungama, veteran actor Paresh Rawal, who has been an integral part of the franchise, has walked out of Hera Pheri 3 due to creative differences with the makers. The actor has also reportedly confirmed the development. ## Paresh Rawal essays the role of Baburao Ganpatrao Apte. This character has a crazy fan base and is also one of the reasons why the franchise achieved cult status. Interestingly, Rawal had himself confirmed a couple of weeks ago that Hera Pheri 3 would start soon, but now, he has quit the project, leaving fans disheartened. ## There was a time when Akshay Kumar was out of the movie, but he returned to the franchise after massive fans' demand. The industry insiders are reportedly hopeful that something like that will happen, and Rawal will make his return to this iconic film series. ## Stay tuned...
