** The much-anticipated *Hera Pheri 3* has hit a snag, and it’s turning into a messy legal drama. Paresh Rawal’s sudden exit from the film has prompted Akshay Kumar’s production company to slap him with a hefty Rs 25 crore lawsuit, accusing him of backing out after signing on and even starting work. Rawal, meanwhile, insists creative differences with the director weren’t the reason he left—though he hasn’t clarified what *was*.
What This Means: ** This isn’t just about hurt feelings—it’s a high-stakes clash that could delay (or even derail) one of Bollywood’s most beloved comedy franchises. Fans were already wary after years of false starts for *Hera Pheri 3*, and now a bitter lawsuit adds another layer of uncertainty. It also raises questions about contract disputes in an industry where verbal agreements and last-minute changes are often the norm.
