Filmmaker Priyadarshan has said that actor Paresh Rawal was onboard for 'Hera Pheri 3'. Paresh had played the character of 'Babu Bhaiya' in both the earlier films and dropped out of shooting, following which actor Akshay Kumar reportedly sued him for ₹25 crore. "I don't know why this happened because Paresh didn't inform us...Akshay has invested money," he added.
