Suspense crime, Digital Desk : The Hera Pheri franchise stands as a pillar of Indian comedy, with its success largely credited to the impeccable chemistry of its central trio: Raju (Akshay Kumar), Shyam (Suniel Shetty), and the unforgettable Baburao Ganpatrao Apte (Paresh Rawal). While Baburao is often singled out for his iconic dialogues and mannerisms, Paresh Rawal recently took to social media to ensure that credit is shared equally among its stars.
The heartwarming exchange began when a fan, expressing admiration for the actor, posted on the social media platform X, "I believe Paresh Rawal is the only hero of the Hera Pheri franchise." This sentiment, while common among fans who adore the character of Baburao, prompted a quick and humble correction from Rawal himself.
In a gracious reply that has since earned praise from fans across the internet, Rawal wrote, "Not true… there are three heroes… Raju, Shyam, and Baburao!!!"
His response not only dismissed the idea of him being the sole hero but also emphatically reinforced the narrative that the film's magic lies in the collective dynamic of the three characters. By naming the characters rather than the actors, Rawal celebrated the fictional world and the trio that has brought laughter to millions for over two decades.
This public display of camaraderie and mutual respect highlights the strong bond shared by the three actors, which has translated into their brilliant on-screen chemistry. Fans lauded Rawal for his humility and for honoring his co-stars, with many commenting that his class act further solidified his legendary status.
I wish to put it on record that my decision to step away from Hera Pheri 3 was not due to creative differences. I REITERATE THAT THERE ARE NO CREATIVE DISAGREEMENT WITH THE FILM MAKER . I hold immense love, respect, and faith in Mr. Priyadarshan the film director.

The interaction has also added to the growing excitement for the highly anticipated third installment of the franchise, tentatively titled Hera Pheri 3. With the original trio set to reunite, Rawal's comment serves as a powerful reminder that the heart of Hera Pheri has always been, and will always be, its three beloved heroes.
