At the trailer launch of Housefull 5, Akshay Kumar was asked to comment on Paresh Rawal's exit from Hera Pheri 3. Responding to the query, Akshay Kumar said, "I have been working with him for 32 years. We are very good friends. He's a great actor. This is not the right place to discuss about it." When the journalist called Paresh Rawal "foolish", Akshay Kumar countered, "Wouldn't appreciate calling him foolish."
