Paresh Rawal Returns Signing Amount With 15 PC Interest After Hera Pheri 3 Exit

The actor was being given 15 crore rupees to do the movie, and in the term sheet, he also had a reservation about a certain clause, according to a report by Bollywood Hungama.

As per the reports, Rawal has paid more money than the signing amount and interest.

The actor returned the signing amount of 11 lakh rupees along with 15 percent interest and a little more money for dropping out of the franchise.

As per the clause in the term sheet, the actor would receive the rest of his fees (Rs 14.89 crores) one month after the release of the movie, which would be either 2026 or 2027.

Paresh Rawal's sudden exit from the movie franchise shocked the industry and the fans of the franchise.

Akshay Kumar, one of the producers of Hera Pheri 3, has sued Rawal for his actions.

"I think there will be severe legal consequences. It's, of course, hurt the franchise. We have written to him, letting him know that there are a lot of legal consequences involved. There have been expenses incurred towards the cast, towards the crew, towards leading senior actors, logistics equipment, and shooting of the trailer," Pooja Tidke, Joint Managing Partner of Parinam Law Associate, which represents Akshay's banner, told PTI.

In the Hera Pheri movie series, Paresh Rawal plays the character of Baburao Ganpatrao Apte. The movie also stars Suniel Shetty and Akshay Kumar in the lead roles.
