Paresh says Hera Pheri was based on a play he did in 1984

Veteran actor Paresh Rawal, who immortalised the character of Babu Bhaiya in the cult classic Hera Pheri (2000), recently revealed that the film’s story was not entirely new to him. In fact, he had performed the same storyline decades earlier in a Gujarati play titled Khel. Paresh Rawal recalled how director Priyadarshan was surprised when he interrupted the film’s narration and completed the climax himself.
