Akshay Kumar sues Paresh Rawal for
Rs 25 crore
Akshay Kumar has sued Paresh Rawal for quitting Hera Pheri 3 thus sabotaging the film. Following Akshay Kumar slapping a legal notice on Paresh Rawal Hera Pheri 3, director Priyadarshan stepped up in support of Akshay Kumar and revealed that Paresh, who exited the franchise, never informed him about the decision. Akshay has the right to sue Paresh Rawal as he has invested in the film, buying the rights for it from producer Feroz Nadiadwala.
The director further added that he isn’t aware why this happened because Paresh didn’t inform them..Before starting the film, Akshay urged him to check with both Paresh and Suniel and he did and both were onboard.
He doesn’t have anything to lose but Akshay has invested money and that could be the reason why he is taking this action. Paresh Rawal hasn’t spoken to Priyadarshan till date.
Priyadarshan has worked with Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal alongside Suniel Shetty in Hera Pheri (2000). However, Neeraj Vora took over for Phir Hera Pheri (2006).
Priyadarshan returned for the third instalment in the franchise, Hera Pheri 3, which earlier promised to reunite the old cast, including Akshay, Paresh and Suniel in the role of Raju, Baburao Ganpatrao Apte and Ghanshyam.
Besides, Hera Pheri 3, Priyadarshan also worked with Paresh and Akshay in the upcoming movie, Bhoot Bangla, a part of Maddock Horror Comedy Universe.
As per Akshay’s claim Paresh behaved unprofessionally by quitting Hera Pheri 3 after signing a contract and starting the film shoot in April this year.
Before this, Paresh confirmed his exit from the film, citing that he simply didn’t feel like doing the film. While there were reports that he left the project due to creative differences, he clarified by rejecting such claims.
It is high time Bollywood actors realise that like Hollywood, producers here too will no longer give in to the whims of an actor walking in and out of a film as he pleases
