# Hera Pheri 3 in Chaos: Writer Rohan Shankar Exits Amid Legal Storm – Will Priyadarshan Save the Day? **Imagine the iconic trio of Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal reuniting for more "Hera Pheri" madness – only for lawsuits, exits, and courtroom drama to derail it all.** The beloved comedy franchise, a box-office goldmine since 2000, is now a hotbed of uncertainty, with the latest blow being writer Rohan Shankar's departure.[2][3] ## The Legal Mess Unraveling Hera Pheri 3 Hera Pheri 3 has been plagued by disputes since its announcement. Producer Firoz Nadiadwala's rights are under fire from Seven Arts International, who claim he was only authorized for a single Hindi remake of the Malayalam film *Ramji Rao Speaking* (1989). They allege Nadiadwala overstepped by making *Phir Hera Pheri* (2006) and selling sequel rights to Akshay Kumar's Cape of Good Films.[3][4] This has triggered a cascade of exits: - **Paresh Rawal's shock departure**: The Baburao fan-favorite returned his Rs 11 lakh signing fee (plus interest) over payment delays, sparking a Rs 25 crore lawsuit from Akshay's team. Rawal clarified no creative differences exist, especially with director Priyadarshan.[1][5] - **Rohan Shankar's confirmed exit**: The writer, who penned the teaser, bowed out due to these "legal issues." In an exclusive chat with News18, he said, "I was in talks, and it was supposed to happen, but it didn't because of legal issues. Hopefully, if Hera Pheri 3 happens and if Priyadarshan sir is there, maybe I will be too."[2][6] Shankar's condition hinges on Priyadarshan – the original director whose magic birthed the franchise. He noted Priyadarshan's packed schedule might delay things further: "He has to do one film, then write another... If it's solved quickly, then Priyan sir will do it."[3]

## Why Fans Are Furious – And What's Next? Netizens are reeling, with social media buzzing over lost cameos and potential recasts. Industry insiders lament that stars like Akshay and Paresh "could have just sat across the table" to sort fees, avoiding court.[5] The Madras High Court now questions if Hera Pheri 3 can even proceed legally.[3][4] With shoots eyed for 2026 and release possibly 2027, resolution feels distant. Yet Shankar's optimism ties back to Priyadarshan, hinting at a possible revival if legal knots untangle.[2] What do you think – is Hera Pheri 3 doomed, or will Priyadarshan work his magic? **Drop your thoughts in the comments below, share this post with fellow fans, and let's keep the "Yeh Babu Rao ka style hai" conversation alive!**
