What’s Hera Pheri without Paresh Rawal? A disappointment! Ever since news of the actor walking out of the Priyadarshan-directed film came out, fans of the cult franchise have been devastated. Without Rawal’s Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, aka Babu Bhaiyaa, to pepper the chemistry between Suniel Shetty’s Ghanshyam and Akshay Kumar’s Raju, the film is bound to feel incomplete.

While Rawal claims he is not in the right frame of mind to do Hera Pheri 3 right now, he says he will never say never to a film. “I know it came as a shock to many. We three make a great combination with Priyadarshanji directing us, but the fact is that I opted out because today I don’t feel like a part of it,” confirms the actor. Many hope that the actor changes his mind. While he remains firm in his decision for now, he has left the future undecided. “It is final for the time being. I always say never say never for anything. One cannot predict what happens in the future,” he smiles.
