Actor Paresh Rawal’s sudden exit from Hera Pheri 3 has not only shocked fans of the beloved franchise but also caught the film’s team off guard. The core cast — including Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and director Priyadarshan — was reportedly blindsided by Rawal’s abrupt decision to step away from the project, especially after the promo shoot had already been completed.
