Munna Bhai will be back
Sanjay Dutt confirmed that the third installment of the Munna Bhai series will certainly see the light of day.
The third installment of the Munna Bhai series, titled Munna Bhai Chale America was jinxed — until now. Soon after the film’s trailer was out a few years ago, the filming process stalled. Later Rajkumar Hirani got busy with other projects and so producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra roped in Jolly LLB director Subhash Kapoor to replace Hirani. But that didn’t lead to much either.
When Sanjay Dutt was serving his sentence in prison, speculation was rife that the film’s scripting was underway.
At a recent private gathering hosted by Raju Hirani, Sanjay Dutt confirmed the news of the film going strong. The actor spoke to the media and said, “Munna Bhai banne wali hai. Woh toh hone hi wala hai.” (Munna Bhai will be made, that’s certain.) This got everyone cheering and hooting for the actor.
Turns out it will be directed by Hirani himself, after he wraps up Sanjay’s biopic with Ranbir Kapoor playing the main lead. Munna Bhai 3 is likely to go on floors in 2017.
