Paresh Rawal Turns Down Ajay Devgn's Drishyam 3 Over 'Unsuitable Role' After Hera Pheri 3 Controversy

Paresh Rawal recently stoked a controversy over his entry and exit, and re-entry in the Hera Pheri franchise. The actor once stated that his decision to leave the movie midway was because he was not satisfied with his role. History seemed to have repeated itself with the actor. Amid rumours around his casting in Drishyam 3, Paresh Rawal has confirmed that the makers of the Ajay Devgn-led movie did approach him, but he turned down the role.

Fans have been waiting eagerly for the release of the third chapter of the Drishyam franchise. The mystery thriller is a remake of the Malayalam movie with the same name, headlined by Mohanlal. It was rumoured that the veteran actor Paresh Rawal had been approached for a critical role in the Hindi version of the film, but he confirmed not being a part of the film.

Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, the 70-year-old actor said, “Yes, the makers did approach me. But I didn’t feel that the rule was suitable for me. Maza nahin aaya (my part wasn’t fun/ I didn’t have fun).” However, the star has no bad words for the makers or the writing. “But the script is very good. I was really impressed. But even in a compelling script, you need a role that you feel excited about. Warna maza nahin aayega (Or else you won't have fun).”

Speaking to Mid-day, he shared, "We three make a great combination with Priyadarshanji directing us, but the fact is that I opted out because today I don't feel like a part of it. No amount of money compares to the love and respect of my audience. Right now, I just feel it is a role that I don't want to do, that's all."
