“If the demand is not complied with within seven days, the company will be constrained to pursue appropriate legal remedies,” said the statement
Days after Akshay Kumar sued Paresh Rawal for Rs 25 crore as damages for leaving Hera Pheri 3 shoot midway, his production house Cape Of Good Films has issued a long statement, detailing the legal aspects of this suing. The statement mentioned that Paresh Rawal had accepted Rs 11 lakh signing amount. It cited that Paresh Rawal didn’t express his dissatisfaction at any point of time during the initial shoot of the film.
The legal document also issued a warning, saying, if Paresh Rawal didn’t deposit Rs 25 crore within seven days, civil and criminal actions would be initiated against him.
The statement mentioned that Paresh Rawal himself announced that he was a part of Hera Pheri 3 via an X post on January 30.
“Mr Rawal had publicly acknowledged his participation in the film on 30th January 2025 via a post on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle. He further formalised his commitment by executing a Term Sheet dated 27th March 2025, pursuant to which he accepted a part payment of Rs 11,00,000/- towards his remuneration. Acting in complete reliance on his public endorsement and contractual commitment, Cape of Good Films incurred substantial production and promotional expenditures, including those for the teaser and initial film shoot, in which Mr Rawal actively participated,” it read.
The notice said that the teaser was shot on April 3, and Paresh Rawal shot more than 3-minutes of the footage.
“The teaser shoot commenced on 3rd April 2025, and over 3 minutes of footage was shot with Mr Rawal. He also engaged in creative discussions and planning with fellow cast members, including Mr Akshay Kumar and Mr Suniel Shetty. At no point during this period were any concerns raised by Mr Rawal regarding creative issues,” it said
