Renowned filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani, known for delivering iconic Bollywood films like Munnabhai M.B.B.S., 3 Idiots, PK, and Sanju, has recently provided an exciting update on the much-anticipated Munna Bhai franchise. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the third installment, and Hirani’s latest revelation has sparked fresh interest.

How Ready is Munna Bhai 3?

During the launch of Indian Express Screen Magazine in Mumbai, Hirani reflected on his breakout hit, Munnabhai M.B.B.S., and offered insight into the progress of Munna Bhai 3. In response to a fan’s query, he revealed, “I don’t have just one, but five scripts. However, all are incomplete.” Hirani admitted to dedicating six months to writing, managing to develop each script up to the interval point, but has struggled to push beyond that.

Among the ideas floating around are titles like Munnabhai LLB, Munnabhai Chal Base, and Munnabhai Chale America. However, the filmmaker acknowledged that the biggest challenge lies in crafting a story that can outshine the previous ones.

Sanjay Dutt’s Eagerness for Munna Bhai 3

In a light-hearted moment, Hirani jokingly shared that Sanjay Dutt, who played the beloved Munna, might show up at his house demanding the next film. He added that Dutt is particularly eager to reprise his role in the iconic series.

The Munna Bhai films are widely cherished for their humor, emotional depth, and social commentary. Since the first film’s release in 2003, where Sanjay Dutt played the street-smart Munna and Arshad Warsi starred as his loyal sidekick Circuit, the franchise has captured hearts across generations.

What’s Next for Rajkumar Hirani?

While fans may have to wait a little longer for Munna Bhai 3, Hirani’s track record remains stellar. He has never delivered a box-office flop, and his most recent release in 2023, Dunki, starring Shah Rukh Khan, has only solidified his reputation as a master storyteller.
