Suniel Shetty on Hera Pheri 3: Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal's ' Hera Pheri 3' has become the center of controversy even before the shooting of the film is completed. The news of Paresh Rawal, who played the memorable character of 'Babu Bhaiya' in the film, leaving the film has shocked his fans and the film industry. Meanwhile, Suniel Shetty said on Paresh Rawal's exit from the film that the main cast of the film cannot be changed due to public sentiments. Along with this, Suniel Shetty clarified that Kartik Aryan is never going to replace him, Akshay Kumar, or Paresh Rawal.
Sunil Shetty said this,
In fact, during his recent conversation, Sunil Shetty said that, "A film becomes popular when the audience remembers the characters. It is not Sunil, Akshay and Paresh. It was Raju, Shyam and Babu Rao. No one can replace those 3 characters and even when Karthik was selected for the film, he was not going to replace Raju. It was for a completely different role".
Sunil Shetty credits director Priyadarshan for the success of the film
Along with this, Sunil Shetty gave the credit of the success of the film to director Priyadarshan. The veteran actor said, "It was because of someone like Priyadarshan. When we were shooting the scenes, he immediately cut it, he felt he had got what he wanted, not a line extra and not any emotion. These are the directors that the current generation is not able to see or get a chance to work with".
Akshay Kumar had said this about Paresh Rawal
Recently, during the trailer launch event of Housefull 5, Akshay Kumar was asked about his rift with Paresh. Responding to the media's question, Akshay Kumar said, "I have worked with him for the last 30 years. I have been working with him for 32 years. We are very good friends. He is a great actor and I respect him a lot. I don't think this is the place to talk about this issue. This is a serious matter and whatever has to happen will be decided in the court. So I am not in favor of saying anything on this here".
Paresh Rawal broke his silence after receiving a legal notice
My lawyer, Ameet Naik, has sent an appropriate response regarding my rightful termination and exit. Once they read my response all issues will be laid to rest.
