Akshay Kumar was spotted at the airport on Sunday, looking quite handsome in baggy denims and a blue striped shirt. His looks have always belied his age and the actor is known for always having his own style which is carries off effortlessly.This is Akshay's first appearance after his production house has filed a lawsuit against Paresh Rawal after his sudden exit from 'Hera Pheri 3'.
Paresh left everyone shocked as he announced that he has quit the film. Even director Priyadarshan, Akshay and Suniel Shettywere unaware of it. The legal team of Akshay's production house (who has bought the rights of Hera Pheri 3) said, "Mr Rawal had publicly acknowledged his participation in the film on 30th January 2025 via a post on his official X.com (formerly Twitter) handle.
He further formalised his commitment by executing a Term Sheet dated 27th March 2025, pursuant to which he accepted a part payment of Rs 11,00,000/- towards his remuneration.
Acting in complete reliance on his public endorsement and contractual commitment, Cape of Good Films incurred substantial production and promotional expenditures, including those for the teaser and initial film shoot, in which Mr Rawal actively participated."
However, a source close to Rawal denied these allegations to IANS. The source was quoted saying, saying that only a promo shoot had taken place. They stressed that Rawal exited well before principal photography started and said that the idea of him 'walked out' is 'worst theatrical imagination at best'. The source also said, "Paresh Rawal is someone who has built his career one role at a time—not on headlines, but on honesty, discipline, and sheer craft.
He doesn't need the noise, and certainly doesn't thrive on it."
Meanwhile, Paresh broke silence on the matter on Sunday morning as he wrote on X, "My lawyer, Ameet Naik, has sent an appropriate response regarding my rightful termination and exit. Once they read my response all issues will be laid to rest."
