‘Paresh never had issues with Akshay, there were other bad…’

'Paresh Rawal never had issues with Akshay Kumar, there were other bad forces pressurising him,' says Priyadarshan about 'Hera Pheri 3' row

Fans are eagerly waiting for ‘Hera Pheri 3’ and thus, when Paresh Rawal had announced his sudden exit from the film, people were left in a frenzy. The third installment of the iconic franchise starring Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, Suniel Shetty fell into trouble after this announcement from Paresh. There were rumours of a fall-out between Akshay and Rawal and the ‘Khiladi’ actor’s production house also filed a lawsuit against Paresh. Fans finally breathed a sigh of relief as Paresh who played the iconic character of Baburao, announced that he’s back to the movie and things are on track. Now in a recent interview, director Priyadarshan has hinted at what went wrong perhaps. He added that there was no problem between him and Rawal and infact, there was nothing even between Akshay and him. He said during a chat with Pinkvilla, “Me and Paresh never had an issue. Even to the best of my knowledge, Akshay and Paresh never had any issues. There are some other forces, bad forces, who was pressurising Paresh and Paresh is a guy…it’s like you know people who are afraid that I’m sick and hyper about it, he has another problem. So, he is afraid, but at the same time, our relationship has never been affected.” The film-maker added, “Akshay told me that, ‘Prince sir, if it happens, let it happen. Otherwise, let’s forget it.’ That’s all. If it happens in a very good way. There are other bad forces which created a lot of issues. It is not worth talking about them, so I am not talking. Let’s hope for the best all through our life. It is filmmaking, you have enemies, friends, fans, critics, so many things in this world. How I survived 40 years, I still don’t know.” Meanwhile, Paresh has confirmed in another interview that ‘Hera Pheri 3’ is expected to go on floors next year.
