Speaking with Subhash K Jha, Pankaj Tripathi laughed off the rumors, stating, “Logon ne toh posters aur meme bhi banana shuru kar diya hai.” He confirmed that he has not been approached to play Baburao, nor does he have any plans to take on the role. “This is more wishful thinking of fans than fact,” Tripathi said.
When asked whether the enthusiasm comes from his own fanbase or Hera Pheri enthusiasts, he replied, “Both! Somehow they feel I am the best man to play the character after the original (Paresh Rawal). But I haven’t been offered the role. And even if I did get the offer, I don’t think I would want to step into the iconic part. Log compare karenge kha-ma-kha. It would not be something I want.”
The Hera Pheri series remains a beloved part of Indian cinema, with Baburao’s character becoming a cultural icon thanks to Paresh Rawal’s memorable portrayal. Fans continue to eagerly await news about the third installment, but as of now, Pankaj Tripathi’s involvement remains purely speculative.
