Recently, Akshay Kumar took part in the trailer launch event of Housefull 5, wherein he looked handsome in a white shirt and jeans. During the event, the actor was asked about the controversy that erupted around Hera Pheri 3. To this, the actor gave a graceful answer. He said that he wouldn't appreciate using terms like 'foolish' for his co-star, and that would not be right. Akshay might have said this in line with the media's question. However, he further stated that he and Paresh have been working together for 32 years, and they are each other's good friends.

Akshay further praised Paresh and called him a 'great actor' and mentioned that he admires Paresh dearly. During the same conversation, Akshay Kumar stated that whatever happened, the launch event was not the right place to talk about the same. The actor further called this a serious matter, which will be handled by the court. Akshay further refused to speak about the same matter.

What has happened between Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal over Hera Pheri 3?

The controversy around Hera Pheri 3 began with Paresh Rawal's exit from the movie, even after he was part of a promotional shoot with Akshay and Suniel. Suniel Shetty further shared that Paresh's abrupt exit has left Akshay and him clueless. However, talking about Paresh Rawal's exit from the movie, his legal team stated that the decision came from the veteran actor's side after the production team was unable to provide necessary elements like finalised script, screenplay or final agreement, which are extremely needed to an actor.

To note, this is not the first time that Paresh has quit the sequel version of a movie. Previously, he has left the movie, OMG 2, and was replaced by Pankaj Tripathi. While giving the reason, Paresh shared that he was not impressed by the script and wouldn't be a part of a sequel, which is made for commercial gain only.

On the other hand, given Paresh Rawal's abrupt exit from such a franchise, Akshay Kumar's production house, Cape Of Good Films, filed a lawsuit of Rs. 25 crore, while stating that the actor was provided with an advance payment. On the other hand, reports also claimed that Paresh has already returned the advanced payment with interest after confirming his exit from the movie.
