The excitement around Hera Pheri 3 has been building up even before the shooting began. Now it is confirmed that the film’s shoot will start by the end of next year, which means fans will have to wait until around 2027 to see it on the big screen. Meanwhile, the beloved character of Babu Rao, played by Paresh Rawal, has once again captured hearts — even without appearing yet. Known for his dramatic expressions and instant mood swings, Babu Rao remains a comic legend.

Paresh Rawal recently shared his thoughts on handling the immense popularity of such an iconic character. He said that when people love a character so much, artists must be careful with their portrayal. The entire Hera Pheri team — including director Priyadarshan and co-stars Akshay Kumar and Sunil Shetty — are close friends who have resolved past differences.

On screen, Paresh Rawal has breathed life into Babu Rao with his unique style and Marathi-influenced dialogue delivery, charming even those unfamiliar with the language. Interestingly, this time around, Babu Rao is not the one left stunned by ‘Raju’ (Akshay Kumar); rather, he leaves others baffled, showcasing Paresh’s evolving performance.

Paresh Rawal had previously expressed hesitation about reprising Babu Rao, citing the need for creative freshness and respect for the character’s legacy. These concerns reflected the sensitive nature of any artist protecting their craft. However, after discussions involving Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty, director Priyadarshan, and producer Sajid Nadiadwala, the differences were settled. Paresh Rawal even apologized to Priyadarshan, signaling an end to the controversy.

While Akshay Kumar and Sunil Shetty are delighted to have Paresh Rawal back on board, Priyadarshan remains somewhat reserved but committed to the project. He stated that he will work on Hera Pheri 3 only with Akshay Kumar producing and is not interested in cinema politics.

Producer Firoz Nadiadwala mentioned that after completing other projects, Hera Pheri 3’s shoot will likely begin next year, confirming the 2027 release timeline.

In summary, Paresh Rawal’s return as Babu Rao marks a heartfelt homecoming for both the actor and fans alike. After all the ups and downs, the iconic trio of Hera Pheri will reunite, promising laughter and memorable moments once again.
