Paresh Rawal and Akshay Kumar have shared the screen in multiple iconic films, and their pairing has been well-received and loved by audiences. However, lately, the iconic duo has been in the news as they battle out a matter in court.

The issue? Paresh Rawal exiting Hera Pheri 3 just months after agreeing to be a part of it. The decision, which reportedly left the team blindsided, caused significant financial loss to Akshay Kumar, who had bought the rights to the film for a reported Rs 10 crore. This led Akshay to file a legal suit against the senior actor.

Despite the two actors being embroiled in a legal matter, Akshay Kumar had only good things to say about his friend Paresh Rawal. Recently, when he was asked to comment on Rawal's exit from the film—and audiences calling the decision “foolish”—Kumar responded,"Let me first tell you, using this kind of word, like foolish for my co-star, I would not appreciate that. That’s not right. We have worked together for the last 35 years. We are very good friends, and he is a great actor. I admire him a lot. Jo bhi kuch hai (whatever it is), I don’t think this is the place to talk about it. Whatever has happened is a serious matter, and it will be handled by the court. So, I don’t think I will speak about it."
