No matter what genre of films you enjoy, but if you’re an avid Paresh Rawal fan, you must have watched three of his epic comedy films namely Hera Pheri, Hungama, and Hulchul.
While the actor has showcased his acting prowess in all of these movies, there’s also something common among them that only a keen observer would have noticed. Well, if you’re eager to learn what are we talking about then read on!
Did you know Hungama and Hulchul also had a reference to Paresh Rawal’s character in Hera Pheri?
In the 2000 film Hera Pheri, Paresh Rawal’s character is named Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, often referred to as Babu Bhaiya. The old man who is in desperate need of money became so popular that the senior actor was often addressed by his name by the audience.
In fact, in the film 2003 film Hungama when we took a closer look at the advert that mentions that Nandan Apte aka Nandu (played by Aftab Shivdasani) is missing, we observe that the name of his father is Seth Baburao Ganpatrao Apte.
Another interesting reference from Hera Pheri was unearthed in the 2004 movie Hulchul. In the scene where Suniel Shetty aka Veeru cleverly brings in his clan inside the wedding venue of Anjali, he addresses Murari (played by Paresh Rawal) as Babu Bhaiya.
