Known for his iconic portrayal of Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, Rawal has been a central figure in the franchise, and Sonakshi’s remarks echo the sentiments of countless fans who consider him irreplaceable in the beloved comedy series. When asked if she could imagine ‘Hera Pheri 3’ without Paresh Rawal, Sinha responded candidly. Reflecting as an audience member herself, she told IANS that there’s absolutely no way she could picture the film without him. She firmly stated that Paresh Rawal’s presence is essential to the franchise’s charm.


Sonakshi’s recent comment about not being able to imagine 'Hera Pheri 3' without Paresh comes shortly after the veteran actor confirmed his exit from the beloved comedy franchise. 

Meanwhile, speaking about working with the veteran actor for the first time in 'Nikita Roy', the Akira actress shared, “Fantastic. I think it was such an honor for me to share screen space with an actor of his calibre. And, you know, in terms of his body of work and how amazing he is, it was an amazing experience for me.”

Speculation had been rife that Rawal’s exit was due to creative disagreements with the film’s director, Priyadarshan. However, the actor was quick to dispel these rumours, putting the record straight. In a message on X, Paresh posted, “I wish to put it on record that my decision to step away from Hera Pheri 3 was not due to creative differences. I reiterate that there are no creative disagreements with the filmmaker. I hold immense love, respect, and faith in Mr. Priyadarshan the film director.”

While Paresh Rawal did not specify the exact reasons behind his decision to leave the film, industry insiders suggest it could be due to scheduling conflicts or other professional commitments.
