Rajkumar Hirani has shared exciting news about the long-awaited Munna Bhai 3. The beloved director is known for his successful films, and the Munna Bhai franchise remains one of his biggest hits.
At a recent event in Mumbai, he provided some intriguing insights into the next chapter of this iconic series.
Rajkumar Hirani Working on Multiple Munna Bhai Scripts
Hirani revealed he is currently working on multiple scripts for Munna Bhai 3. “I have five half-finished scripts for Munna Bhai,” he explained.
“I spent six months on a script, got to the interval, and then it just wouldn’t move forward. There’s Munna Bhai LLB, Munna Bhai Chal Base, Munna Bhai Chale Amreeka, and more.”
He emphasised the challenge of crafting a new story that surpasses the previous films. “The most important factor is that the next instalment has to be better than the previous films. But now, I have a unique idea,” he said.
“Of course, over 100 years of cinema, everything has been said. But yeah, I’m working on that idea,” he added.
Sanjay Dutt Keen To Play The Titular Role Again
Sanjay Dutt, who plays the titular role of Munna Bhai, is equally eager to get started on this third instalment. Hirani joked about Dutt’s excitement.
He went on to say, “I think Sanju might just come to my house and threaten me to finish the next film. He really wants to do another Munna Bhai movie.”
While this was said in jest, Hirani reassured fans that he is “seriously” considering moving forward with the project.
Dunki Was The Last Film Directed By Rajkumar Hirani
Hirani is enjoying the success of his film, Dunki, which features Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role. The film also stars Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Boman Irani, Anil Grover, and Vikram Kochhar.
Dunki tackles the serious topic of immigration, derived from the term “donkey journey,” describing the perilous routes many take to seek a better life. It was released in theatres on December 21 and has performed decently at the box office.
About Munna Bhai Franchise
The Munna Bhai franchise kicked off with Munnabhai MBBS, which was a massive success. This was followed by Lage Raho Munna Bhai, which introduced Vidya Balan into the mix.
Fans were left hanging when Munna Bhai Chale America, the teased third film, never materialised.
