As per Hindustan Time reports, Akshay Kumar, through his production, Cape of God Films, has sent a legal notice to Paresh Rawal claiming damages worth Rs. 25 crore. A source revealed that Paresh had already started shooting for the film and also took his signing amount. As per the source, the signing amount was much more than the market value. The source was quoted as saying:
“As much as they didn’t want to take a legal route, and act of backing out has forced them to send a legal notice claiming damages. Paresh signed a contract to do the film, and even took a signing amount. The makers agreed to all his demands, and even paid him much more than the market value. He has been a part of all the core meetings taking Hera Pheri 3, and the intent is to take action as he has backed out after committing to the film and even shooting for it.
The source further revealed that Paresh didn’t give any logical reason for his sudden exit from the highly anticipated cult comedy sequel. The source also said that the sudden exit incurred a huge loss for the production as they have cleared the debts existing on the film. Revealing the facts that come up after Paresh’s exit, the source said:
“The act is unprofessional, and uncalled for. Paresh has given no logical reason for his exit to the team, leaving everyone furious and disappointed. Why should a producer suffer due to an unprofessional exit of another actor? He has to pay for the losses caused by sudden exit. Cape of Good Films had procured the rights of Hera Pheri 3 from multiple stakeholders, and even repaid all the debts existing on the film.”
