Arshad Warsi was asked whether the third film of the Rajkumar Hirani’s ‘Munna Bhai’ franchise is being made. The actor said, “Vidhu Vinod Chopra wants to make it. Rajkumar Hirani also wants it to be made, and Sanjay Bhai also wants to do it and I will do it too. But the film is not being made yet.”

“Raju has three great scripts for the sequel. Some things are missing here and there. I don’t think that’s happening. Now a lot of time has passed. I told Raju that whatever begins, also has an end. Looks like we left the Munna Bhai film franchise on interval. Everyone is impatient because it is not over yet. Munna Bhai series needs to end,’ added Arshad.

Rajkumar Hirani indeed delivered the best films with his ‘Munna Bhai’ franchise. The director proved the mettle of his brilliant storytelling while making these two movies the brightest gem of his filmography which is well decked up with a 100% success track record.

A video clip featuring Sanjay Dutt in his Munnabhai avatar, sporting a bright orange shirt has gone viral. It features the actor walking with Rajkumar Hirani on a film set, with the Munnabhai title track in the background. The film-maker can also be heard saying, “Ahh, Munna is back!” Just moments after Sanjay Dutt’s entry, Arshad Warsi in his ‘Circuit’ attire enters and greets Sanjay Dutt with a hug. And we can hear Rajkumar Hirani say ‘And we are back’.

After two hit films, Munna Bhai M.B.B.S and Lage Raho Munna Bhai, there were several speculations that a third film is in the making. However, in an interview earlier this year, Arshad shared that, ‘Munna Bhai 3 may not happen.’

In a previous interview, Arshad stated, “We have a director who wants to make it, a producer who wants to produce it, an audience who wants to see it, actors who want to act in it and still it is not happening.”

When asked film director Rajkumar Hirani is yet to narrow down on the perfect script. “The thing is, Raju [Hirani] is insanely perfectionist. He has 3 scripts which are brilliant but there are some glitches. So, till the time he is not 100-200 per cent sure of the script, he won’t start it. When you ask him, he will always say yes, never says no. He will say ‘main kar raha ho.. ek baar script fix ho jaaye na, mujhe yeh pasand nahi woh pasand nahi’. Once he crosses that stage, he will start, ” he added.

While we wait for an official announcement about Munnabhai 3, Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi will be seen sharing screen in another sequel titled ‘Welcome Back To The Jungle’.
