Suniel Shetty had 'NO CLUE' about Paresh Rawal's exit from Hera Pheri 3; 'Even Akshay Kumar is...'

Paresh Rawal's exit from Hera Pheri 3 came as a shocker to many. It was back in January that Priyadarshan announced the film. Paresh Rawal, Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty aka Baburao, Raju and Shyam were to reunite for this project. However, a few days ago, reports of Paresh Rawal exiting the film made it to the headlines. He later confirmed the reports with a post on social media. Just yesterday, reports of Akshay Kumar suing Paresh Rawal for exiting the film midway hit headlines. Now, it is Suniel Shetty who has reacted to the same.

Talking to India Today, Suniel Shetty mentioned that he had no clue about Paresh Rawal exiting Hera Pheri 3. His children - Athiya Shetty and Ahaan Shetty - informed him about the same. Suniel Shetty expressed complete shock over the sudden move of Paresh Rawal. He stated that the shooting was about to begin and they had already shot a promo. He said that it a big deal and he can't make sense of it. The actor said, "This is absolutely shocking. I first thought about texting him, and then I thought I'd meet him and discuss it. I have had no word about it with anybody. Even Akshay is clueless as to what happened."

In another interview with ANI, Suniel Shetty also added that the movie cannot happen without Paresh Rawal. He said that the film can probably happen without Raju and Shyam but it cannot definitely happen without Babubhaiyaa. "No, it doesn't. Raju and Shyam, if they're not hammered by Babu here, it doesn't work," he said. So does this mean that the film will get shelved without Paresh Rawal?

Yesterday, reports had it that Akshay Kumar who is the producer of the film has sent a legal notice to Paresh Rawal seeking Rs 25 crore in damages due to his sudden exit from the film. Reportedly, Akshay Kumar bought rights of the film and invested money to set the film rolling. For more updates from entertainment news, stay tuned.
