Veteran actor Paresh Rawal has returned 'Hera Pheri 3' signing amount with 15 per cent interest. This came amid the ongoing controversy around the film after the actor's exit from the project.
As per a report by Bollywood Hungama, Paresh Rawal returned the signing amount of Rs 11 lakhs along with 15 per cent interest. In fact, he even paid a little more than what he received. Since the shoot was planned for next year and the release was far away, he would have had to wait nearly two years to get his full payment. This led to
his decision to exit the project.
"The term sheet mentioned that Paresh Rawal would receive the balance amount - Rs 14.89 crore - only one month after the release of the film. The senior actor had reservations about this clause. Also, the film’s principal shoot was to commence sometime next year. This means that Hera Pheri 3 was unlikely to be released before late 2026 or in the year 2027. In short, Paresh would have had to wait for nearly two years to get the rest of his acting fees,” a source close to the development said.
