Overview

  • Paresh Rawal exited Hera Pheri 3 citing the absence of a story, screenplay, and long-term agreement, returning his Rs 11 lakh signing fee with 15% interest.
  • Akshay Kumar's production house, Cape of Good Films, has filed a Rs 25 crore lawsuit against Rawal, alleging financial and logistical losses due to his exit.
