Paresh
Rawal
has
played
many
diverse
characters
in
his
career
but
Baburao
Ganpatrao
Apte
from
Hera
Pheri
and
Phir
Hera
Pheri
has
a
cult
following
of
its
own.
The
hilarious
character
has
been
immortalized
by
the
veteran
actor
with
his
terrific
comic
timing
and
often
makes
its
way
into
various
jokes
and
memes
on
social
media.
However,
we
were
a
tad
surprised
when
Paresh
Rawal
in
his
recent
interview
with
Quint
said
that
he
wants
to
get
rid
of
his
Baburao
image
now
considering
it's
still
highly
popular
with
the
audience
even
years
after
the
films'
release.
When
Rawal
was
pointed
out
that
Dubsmashes
and
Reels
made
on
his
Hera
Pheri
dialogues
go
viral
very
quickly,
the
actor
said,
"But
I
am
tired
of
that.
Sick
and
tired
of
that."
The
Hungama
actor
further
said
that
the
second
installment
of
Hera
Pheri
(Phir
Hera
Pheri)
lacked
the
innocence
which
was
the
essence
of
the
first
film
in
the
franchise.
"What
happened
was,
in
Hera
Pheri
2,
we
were
very
over
smart.
Zyada
hi
hoshiyari
dikha
rahe
the
apni
(We
tried
to
be
too
smart).
And,
it
did
not
work," the
actor
told
Quint.
Further,
Paresh
was
all
praise
for
his
co-star
Suniel
Shetty,
He
said
that
he
was
the
only
earnest
one
and
hence
he
stood
out
in
the
movie.
The
Andaz
Apna
Apna
actor
said,
"Except
one
guy
was
working.
Who
was
very
earnest--
Suniel
Shetty.
He
never
wanted
to
probe
anything
so
he
was
standing
out.
Aur
hum,
..dekha...bahut
gandgi
ho
gai
thi
(It
all
got
too
dirty)."
Rawal
hoped
that
if
Hera
Pheri
3
ever
gets
made,
the
makers
keep
the
innocence
of
the
characters
intact.
"Jab
kabhi
bhi
hota
hai,
ek
to
innocence
chahiye
wo
nahi
tha....wo
tha
hi
nahi.
Gandgi
ho
gai
(Whenever
that
happens,
it
will
need
innocence.
That
wasn't
there
anymore.
It
all
got
too
dirty).
In
fact,
I
would
like
to
get
rid
of
that
image.
Truly," Quint
quoted
him
as
saying.
While
Hera
Pheri
which
released
in
2000
was
directed
by
Priyadarshan,
late
Neeraj
Vora
had
helmed
Phir
Hera
Pheri
in
2006.
Since
then,
there
have
been
various
reports
around
the
third
film
in
this
installment
but
there
has
been
no
concrete
development
on
it
so
far.
Speaking
about
Paresh
Rawal,
the
actor
is
currently
busy
with
the
promotions
of
his
upcoming
film,
Rajkummar
Rao-Kriti
Sanon's
Hum
Do
Hamare
Do.
