What is the Hera Pheri 3 controversy? 

It all started on May 18 when Paresh Rawal confirmed that he has quit the third instalment of the comedy franchise Hera Pheri, directed by Priyadarshan. This came as a shock to the fans as well as the makers. The actor has been a part of the franchise ever since its inception in 2000 and plays the iconic Baburao Ganpatrao. As per reports, the shooting for the threequel had already commenced, and Rawal's exit was termed as a breach of contract.
