Cape of Good Films has filed a lawsuit against Paresh Rawal for Rs 25 crore after his unexpected exit from 'Hera Pheri 3', claiming it caused significant financial losses. The production house alleges that Rawal's departure was abrupt and unprofessional, accusing him of 'abandoning and sabotaging' the project.

Rawal's exit has left many in the industry shocked, particularly Akshay Kumar, who reportedly had tears in his eyes upon learning of the news. Priyadarshan, the film's director, expressed his deep hurt, stating that Rawal did not inform anyone personally before making a public announcement.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh suggested that the issue could have been resolved internally, saying, 'I wish Akshay and Paresh would have sat across the table and sorted it out.' The lawsuit highlights the substantial financial investment already made in the film, with shooting having commenced and schedules disrupted.

A lawyer for Cape of Good Films confirmed that Rawal's decision has led to 'severe legal consequences' and reputational damage for the committed actors and the franchise. The situation has sparked discussions among fans, many of whom find it hard to imagine 'Hera Pheri' without Rawal's iconic character, Baburao.

Rawal himself stated that he left the project because he 'didn’t feel like a part of it' and was unhappy with the direction it was taking.
