What Paresh said
In the interview with News 18, Paresh said, “There was a sense of over-confidence and that shouldn’t have happened. Suniel Shetty Anna was earnest and honest and carried the legacy of Shyam in an amazing way. Characters and premise like Hera Pheri come our way very rarely.”
The actor, who will reprise his character of Babu bhaiyya in the film, further added, "We should work around it very diligently and treat it with a lot of nazaqat. We shouldn’t make it impure. I realized my mistake when I was dubbing for Phir Hera Pheri. Mujhe samajh mein aaya ke maine paap kar diya hai, bahot hi ganda paap kar diya hai. Par maahol hi aisa tha (I didn't realize that I had committed a grave mistake. But the situation was such). Having said that, we shouldn’t have become so over-confident.”
