The return of Rawal, cherished for his role as Baburao, has rejuvenated excitement among fans and assured the film’s creators that the original chemistry of the cult franchise remains intact.

How Issues Got Resolved

During an interview at the Shirdi Sai Baba temple, Shetty humorously said he would only speak about Hera Pheri 3 after its release—signaling his cautious optimism now that the original team is restored .

Shetty emphasized that Hera Pheri 3 would remain a clean, all-ages comedy—one you can watch together as a family without hesitation. He highlighted that the film’s soul is the unity and comic rapport among the original trio and reassured fans that these values are being preserved .

Behind-the-Scenes Bond

Suniel Shetty downplayed his own role in mediating the dispute, instead crediting the deep friendship between Paresh Rawal and Akshay Kumar. He revealed that real reconciliation happened when both stars directly addressed each other, shutting out external interference. Shetty advised future co-stars to “talk to each other” and not let outside narratives cause rifts .
