What Paresh Rawal's Public Withdrawl From Hera Pheri 3 Resulted In

As tensions led to a legal dispute, Paresh Rawal returned his signing amount for Hera Pheri 3, with interest.
Paresh Rawal On Not Wanting To Repeat Previous Mistakes
Paresh Rawal has mentioned several times in a series of interviews, that he was not happy with how Phir Hera Pheri (2006) drifted away from the humour it was known for. This was one of the reasons why the actor had demanded a script before giving a nod to Hera Pheri 3.
