Now who doesn’t love Munna Bhai and his Circuit’s crazy antics? The duo, who created havoc in a medical college and prompted Gandhigiri, are all set to return in the third instalment of the Munna Bhai series! Yes, you heard it right. Filmmaker Raju Hirani, who has earlier directed both the films under the Munna Bhai franchise, himself has put all the speculations to rest. The ace director has revealed that he is indeed working on the third instalment of the series with Sanjay Dutt in the lead.
In a recent interview to Hindustan Times, Hirani shared, “I have found a story that is as good as Lage Raho Munna Bhai or maybe even better. I wasn't doing the third part because I wasn't finding anything that matches that level. Now, I have found it, but it will take some time to write it. I am writing a script for Munna Bhai 3 and Sanju will star in it, and will play his age. I spoke to him (about the film when he came out on parole recently), and he was very excited."
On being asked when this much-awaited film will hit the theatres, Hirani said, “I have a couple of ideas, so I am writing two more scripts besides Sanju's biopic. While one is a Munna Bhai film, there's also another new story. I plan to take it up after wrapping up Sanju's biopic.” Apparently, Hirani’s next venture is a biopic on Sanjay, starring Ranbir Kapoor.
Recently, the rumour mill was abuzz that Ranbir would play the role of Munna Bhai. Besides that, there were also talks about a film called Munna Bhai Chale Delhi, which was going to be directed by Subhash Kapoor (of Jolly LLB, 2013, fame). However, later it was reported that Subhash will not helm the movie owing to ‘creative differences’.
Now this makes us very excited, as to which new wave will Hirani bring in with apun ka Munna Bhai!
