Fans say 'No Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, No Hera Pheri 3'

The upset fans flooded his comment section, asking the real reason and urged makers to drop the idea of a third installment as it would be "boring" without Rawal's iconic character, Baburao Ganpatrao Apte. A fan wrote, "I don't want to go into the details, but Pareshbhai it would be better if the makers drop the idea of making the 3rd part." Another wrote, "Without you, we won't see this movie now."

A third user asked him to rethink his decision of quitting, "Then what happened? Are the producers offering less money, or are you bored of playing the same role? Come on, Babu Bhaiyya, Hera Pheri without even one of the three main leads would be totally pointless. Please rethink." "Then priyadarshan should not make this movie," a fan wrote.

Hera Pheri became a cult classic franchise over the years, with its characters Raju, Shayam and Baburao earning immense love from the fans.
