Paresh Rawal quits Hera Pheri 3 over creative differences. Can anyone else play Babu Bhaiya? What’s in store for Akshay Kumar and the original trio? Here’s the complete scoop!

Paresh Rawal no more part of ” hera pheri 3 “
The news has struck harder than Raju’s cons — Paresh Rawal, the one who presented us with the inimitable Babu Bhaiya, has officially walked out of Hera Pheri 3. Reasoned that creative differences between the aging actor and the producers precipitated this move.

Yes, you heard it correctly. The one-liner emperor, the “mujhe toh aisa dhak dhak horela hai” legend, no longer features in the third part of India’s greatest comedy franchise.
Suniel Shetty Speaks Out: “Niraasha Hui Hai” on Babu Rao’s Exit

At the promotional function of his next movie “Kesari Veer”, when Paresh Rawal’s exit from Hera Pheri 3 was brought to Suniel Shetty’s notice, his reaction was self-explanatory.With a visible look of dismay on his face, Suniel Shetty had “nirasha” regarding the development and indicated that the three friends’ relationship is what made the franchise timeless. “Fans ke liye hum teeno ek hi frame mein hona zaroori hai,” he was quoted as saying. He also hinted that he’s still optimistic things might just fall into place at the end, believing that emotions and fan love can sometimes turn even the most challenging situations around.His emotional reply has touched the hearts of fans, who are now lobbying on social media to get Paresh Rawal back as Babu Bhaiya.
Akshay Kumar’s 2022 Exit & Grand Return: Déjà Vu?

This turn of events isn’t the first in the Hera Pheri series. In 2022, Akshay Kumar himself quit the franchise, expressing discontent with the script. The internet was filled with dismay. But hope was renewed when Akshay declared his return, uniting again with his original co-stars — Paresh Rawal and Suniel Shetty — as Raju, Babu Rao, and Shyam.
Fans were ecstatic, thinking that the magic of the OG trio had really returned. But now that Babu Bhaiya is absent from the picture, will it last?
Who Will Replace Paresh Rawal in hera pheri 3 ?

Though no formal confirmation has been issued, there’s a buzz of speculation in the industry. Names such as Rajpal Yadav, Johnny Lever, Nana patekar and even Sanjay Mishra have been mentioned — all brilliant comedians in their own right. But come on — Babu Bhaiya is not a character, he’s an emotion.

Will the Audience Accept a New Babu Bhaiya ?
This is probably the greatest challenge the makers have to tackle presently. Can the fans digest anyone else in Paresh Rawal’s shoes? The response isn’t simple.

For over two decades, Paresh Rawal’s portrayal of the quirky, gullible, and hilarious Babu Rao has become a part of Indian pop culture. Replacing him won’t just be casting a new actor — it’ll be rewriting nostalgia. And we all know, Bollywood fans guard their nostalgia like gold.
If the makers go ahead without him, they’ll need a miracle script and unmatched comic timing to convince the audience.
Final Thoughts
Hera Pheri without Babu Bhaiya is like tea without sugar. A big bonus that Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty are coming back, but Paresh Rawal’s absence may mean a gap too large to bridge.As lovers of the film, all we can do is pray that this is a transient fallout — and just like Akshay in 2022, Paresh Rawal too comes back with “yes, it’s a fact.”Until that time, we can say only:”Chya mayla, itni Hera Pheri!”
