Johnny Lever on Paresh Rawal’s Exit from Hera Pheri 3: Bollywood fans love the Hera Pheri series, and now they are heartbroken after hearing that Paresh Rawal might not return as Babu Bhaiya in Hera Pheri 3. Actor Johnny Lever, who also stars in the film, has opened up and said clearly that the film will not be enjoyable without Paresh Rawal. He even requested Rawal to come back for the sake of the audience. Let’s take a closer look at what’s going on.
What Johnny Lever Said
In a recent interview, Johnny Lever was honest and emotional. He said, “Mazaa nahi aayega unke bina” (It won’t be fun without him). He appealed to both Paresh Rawal and Akshay Kumar to talk things out and solve the issue. According to Lever, fans will deeply miss Paresh ji if he’s not in the film. He added that both actors should sit down, sort it out, and make the movie together. Johnny also confirmed that he has been booked for Hera Pheri 3 himself.
Why Paresh Rawal Left the Film
On May 18, Paresh Rawal posted on X (Twitter) that he is leaving Hera Pheri 3. After that, things turned serious. Akshay Kumar, who is also producing the film, sent Rawal a legal notice asking for ₹25 crore in damages. This legal step shocked fans and the film industry alike.

What Akshay Kumar Said
Akshay spoke about the situation at the trailer launch of Housefull 5. He said he has worked with Paresh Rawal for 32 years and they share a great friendship. However, he said the issue is now a legal matter and will be handled in court. He didn’t want to say much more.
What Others Are Saying
While Paresh Rawal mentioned in an interview that he had informed director Priyadarshan and his co-stars about his decision, both Priyadarshan and Suniel Shetty said they were surprised by the news. This has led to more confusion and sadness among fans.
Why This Matters to Fans
The Hera Pheri franchise is not just a film series—it’s an emotion. People have grown up watching the comic timing and chemistry between Raju (Akshay Kumar), Shyam (Suniel Shetty), and Babu Bhaiya (Paresh Rawal). If one of them is missing, the entire charm might be lost. Johnny Lever is right when he says fans won’t enjoy it the same way.
As the makers of Hera Pheri 3 prepare to shoot, the big question remains: Will Babu Bhaiya return? Fans hope that the stars can settle their differences soon. Johnny Lever’s words are full of heart, and like him, the audience too wants the original trio back. After all, Hera Pheri without Babu Bhaiya is like tea without sugar—just not the same.
