“Who Can Replace Babu Bhaiya? From Kartik Aaryan to Abhishek Bachchan – The Hera Pheri 3 Casting Chaos!”
From Paresh Rawal’s exit to Akshay Kumar’s reported replacements – here’s the complete saga of the crazy casting whirlwind in Hera Pheri 3.
The Babu Bhaiya Dilemma: Who Can Possibly Replace Paresh Rawal?
The fans of Bollywood are still stunned to hear that Paresh Rawal, the actor behind the iconic Babu Bhaiya, has walked out of Hera Pheri 3. Famous for his unparalleled comic timing and everlasting dialogues, his departure has raised a huge question in everyone’s mind:
Who can replace Paresh Rawal in Hera pheri 3
Though the makers have not officially announced a new name yet, there are some actors who are being rumored to take the role.
Nana Patekar: A thesplan giant with his own signature way of speaking dialogue. His boisterous, aggressive, but unintentionally humorous tone might add a new twist to Babu Bhaiya — although many believe it would be an entirely different character.
Sanjay Mishra: He is famous for his understated, down-to-earth humor and has his own fan base. But can he replace the boisterous-yet-lovable Babu Bhaiya?
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Hera Pheri 3 faced casting drama.
In 2022, it was Akshay Kumar who reportedly exited the film. The news sent fans into panic. Soon, buzz started that Kartik Aaryan would be the new Raju.
Though Kartik is talented and has a huge young fanbase, many believed he couldn’t match Akshay’s charm and comic timing in the franchise.
John Abraham & Abhishek Bachchan in Hera pheri 3
Let’s take a step back even more.
Earlier, the producers had envisioned a different approach for Hera Pheri 3 with Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham. The movie was even announced but was put on the backburner because of production problems and fan disapproval. The audience simply couldn’t imagine anyone else playing the OG trio: Raju, Shyam, and Babu Rao.
So What Now? Will Fans Welcome New Faces in Old Roles?
Again and again, fans of Hera Pheri have been clear: they want the old cast back. And after so much melodrama, when Akshay Kumar came back to the movie, fans were relaxed. But now with Paresh Rawal being out, the future seems uncertain once again.Will the public embrace a new Babu Bhaiya? Or will nostalgia strike again and get Paresh Rawal back, just like Akshay did?Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure — Hera Pheri without the originals is like “khali dabba — awaz toh aati hai, par maza nahi aata.”
Final Words
In Bollywood, casting modifications are standard, but certain characters are too iconic to mess with. Whether it’s Raju or Babu Bhaiya, these characters are feelings for audiences, and nothing more than names on a poster.Let’s hope and wait for the makers not to forget that.
