Mumbai, May 30 (NationPress) The talented actor Paresh Rawal celebrated his 70th birthday on Friday. To honor him on this significant occasion, his 'Hera Pheri' co-star Suniel Shetty shared a heartfelt birthday message, referring to him as a 'wonderful human being'.
Expressing his admiration, Suniel took to his social media platform, stating, 'To the man... Who is a powerhouse of both Wit & Wisdom and an even more wonderful human being. Happy happy birthday, Pareshji. Much love and respect always.'
He also included a photograph showcasing both actors smiling at the camera.
This post emerges amid the ongoing dispute involving Paresh and Akshay Kumar, which followed Paresh's withdrawal from the third installment of the franchise, 'Hera Pheri 3.'
The disagreement intensified after news circulated about Paresh's exit from the project. Subsequently, Akshay's production company, Cape of Good Films, which is overseeing the film, initiated legal action against Paresh, claiming Rs. 25 crores for his sudden departure from the production.
In the meantime, a source close to Paresh questioned the silence of the film’s original producer, Firoz Nadiadwala, regarding the situation.
According to an insider who spoke to IANS, 'Let’s not forget, 'OMG' was a film Paresh ji helped develop from the ground up, adapted from a play he had performed for years. When it came to producing the film, he didn’t blink. He placed his trust in Akshay Kumar out of deep love, respect, and, above all, faith. That bond has always been strong. Years later, OMG 2 came along, and this is where the truth gets blurry. Paresh ji had developed that story from scratch, with the intent of making it a standalone film. It was not meant to be OMG 2. But somewhere along the way, the script he shaped was rebranded into a franchise sequel. The role was written for him. The story was his. And yet, he chose to walk away quietly, gracefully. He didn’t fight it. He didn’t stop it. He didn’t sue.'
