Amid controversy over Paresh Rawal's exit from ‘Hera Pheri 3’, it's now reported that the actor returned his ₹11 lakh signing amount with 15% annual interest, along with an additional sum for stepping away from the project.
According to ‘Bollywood Hungama’, Rawal had reservations about a clause in the contract, despite his total fee being set at ₹15 crore.
As per the report, Paresh Rawal was uneasy with a clause stating he would receive the remaining ₹14.89 crore of his fee only a month after the film’s release, which is likely in late 2026 or 2027.
With the shoot scheduled for next year, this meant waiting almost two years for full payment. His unexpected exit stunned fans and the film industry, especially with ‘Hera Pheri 3’ being nearly two decades in the making. Akshay Kumar, who also co-produces the film, has reportedly taken legal action against him.
