Priyadarshan reacts to Akshay Kumar suing Paresh Rawal for ₹25 crore for sabotaging Hera Pheri 3

Filmmaker Priyadarshan is surprised by actor Paresh Rawal's decision to walk out of his film Hera Pheri 3, which was set to reunite the original cast from the 2000 hit Hera Pheri — Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh. On Tuesday morning, HT City exclusively learnt that Akshay, who is also the producer of Hera Pheri 3, has sent a legal notice to Paresh, suing him for ₹25 crore for abandoning and sabotaging the film.

Priyadarshan has supported Akshay's decision to take legal notice against Paresh Rawal

When we reached out to Priyadarshan, he said that Akshay has the right to take this legal step as his hard earned money is invested in the film, adding that the actor legally bought the rights for it from producer Feroz Nadiadwala.

"I don't know why this happened because Paresh didn't inform us. Before starting the film, Akshay asked me to check with both Paresh and Suniel and I did and both were onboard," says Priyadarshan, who has also directed Paresh and Akshay in the upcoming film Bhoot Bangla.
