The film also grabbed headlines due to a reported legal dispute where Akshay Kumar allegedly filed a Rs 25 crore case against Paresh Rawal for harming the project’s progress. Speaking about the controversy, Priyadarshan shared that the issue was resolved privately among the lead actors. Reacting to Paresh joining the film, he stated HT City, “I am living in South India, whenever a film is signed, I will go to shoot it. I am only committed to Akshay Kumar to do this film (as a maker), I don’t know anybody else.”

He added, “Suniel, Akshay, and Paresh are my best friends. There was a difference of opinion between them that has been sorted out. This is all I know. I don’t think anybody else is involved in it.”

As for when the film will begin shooting, the director mentioned that he just finished work on Bhoot Bangla. He added that Hera Pheri 3 could go into full production sometime next year.
