Rajkumar Hirani will start Munnabhai 3 after completing Ranbir Kapoor’s Sanjay Dutt biopic, confirms Arshad Warsi

Monday, 16 October 2017 07:00

Will Munnabhai 3 ever happen? That’s one question every Bollywood fan desperately needs to get an answer for.

After all this is perhaps one of the rare franchises in Bollywood, that has made consistently good movies. I understand the makers’ tardiness in making the third movie, and it’s not just about Sanjay Dutt‘s legal hassles.

They have to make a movie worthy of the earlier two films, and continue the legacy. Anything less would be a disappointment. It’s another matter that they had planned a third movie, Munnabhai Chale Amreeka that had to be shelved because the plot was similar to that of Shah Rukh Khan’s My Name is Khan.
