Rajkumar Hirani Gives Update on Much-Awaited ‘Munna Bhai 3’, Sanjay Dutt Enthusiastic About Reprising Role

Nearly 17 years after the release of the second film in the popular ‘Munna Bhai’ franchise, fans have been eagerly awaiting an update on the third installment. In a recent interview, director Rajkumar Hirani provided some insight into the status of ‘Munna Bhai 3’, while lead actor Sanjay Dutt expressed enthusiasm about reprising his iconic role.

Half-Written Scripts, But High Expectations

Hirani revealed that over the years he has worked on five half-finished scripts for ‘Munna Bhai 3’, but has struggled to finalize one due to the tremendous success of the first two films. “I feel that if I don’t reach the level of those two films, I won’t be able to make the third one,” Hirani said. He wants to ensure the script lives up to fan expectations before moving forward with production.

Sanjay Dutt Eager to Get Started

However, Hirani’s frequent collaborator Sanjay Dutt is eagerly awaiting the chance to step back into the role of the lovable goon, Munna Bhai. “Sanju and I often discuss ‘Munna Bhai 3’. He tells me to make it,” said the director. With the wrap of his latest film ‘Dunki’, Hirani plans to revisit his old story ideas and see if one might be the right fit.

No Definite Timeline

While Hirani admits he really wants to make the next sequel happen, he stopped short of providing a specific timeline. “I don’t know when,” he stated frankly. But the fact that both he and Dutt seem sincerely interested in reuniting for ‘Munna Bhai 3’ will no doubt hearten fans.

17 years after ‘Lage Raho Munna Bhai’ became a critical and commercial hit, the future of the ‘Munna Bhai’ franchise remains uncertain. But Hirani’s recent comments indicate there is still a chance audiences could see Sanjay Dutt return as the big-hearted goon turned doctor alongside sidekick Circuit (Arshad Warsi). For now, fans eagerly await further updates from the creative team.
