Akshay Kumar Allegedly Offers ₹45 Cr to Recruit Paresh Rawal for Hera Pheri 3In perhaps the most emotional twist in the history of Bollywood, Akshay Kumar is allegedly going the extra mile to welcome back Paresh Rawal to the much-awaited Hera Pheri 3—and the figure being bandied around is mind-boggling: ₹45 crore, three times Paresh Rawal’s initial salary.
The Fallout: Paresh Rawal’s Shocking Exit
Only a few days ago, industry experts as well as fans were left stunned by the revelation that Paresh Rawal had walked out of Hera Pheri 3 because of a disagreement with the crew over creative issues. Famous for his iconic rendition of Babu Bhaiya, his unexpected exit not only left the audience stunned but the cast too.

If reports are to be taken seriously, Akshay Kumar was so distraught over Rawal’s departure that he wept uncontrollably on the sets, venting his extreme disappointment. Akshay, Paresh, and Suniel Shetty’s chemistry made Hera Pheri a cult favorite, and losing one-third of this iconic trio was a devastating setback.
Legal Trouble and Financial Losses
In a dramatic turn of events, Akshay Kumar reportedly lodged a legal complaint against Paresh Rawal for contract violation for walking out during the shoot. Informed sources revealed that the unexpected stoppage resulted in a whopping ₹25 crore loss for Akshay, who is heavily invested in the movie financially.
Paresh Rawal gave back ₹11 lakh to the producers in response, while the remaining compensation would be paid after the release of the film.
The Big Offer: ₹45 Cr to Return as Babu Bhaiya
In spite of the legal controversy and financial losses, there’s finally hope for Hera Pheri supporters. News indicates that Akshay Kumar is personally ready to invest ₹45 crore—triple Paresh Rawal’s initial ₹15 crore fee—to coax him back.
This move also emphasizes Akshay’s personal stake in the franchise and how vital Paresh Rawal is to the film’s success. It also says a lot about their off-screen relationship, which can still lay the ground for some kind of a patch-up.
Conclusion: Will the Trio Reunite Once Again?
The fate of Hera Pheri 3 remains uncertain, yet Akshay Kumar’s noble gesture could be the turning point in restoring the magic. If Paresh Rawal says yes or no, this much is certain: the love and legacy of Hera Pheri live on and are flourishing.
