Fans of the iconic Bollywood duo Sanjay Dutt as Munna Bhai and Arshad Warsi as Circuit can finally celebrate as Munna Bhai 3 is officially in the works. Arshad Warsi recently spoke to SCREEN, reflecting on his long time collaboration with Dutt and confirming the third instalment of the beloved franchise.
Warsi shared, “Sanju is just mind-blowing. He is a different kind of talent altogether. It used to be so much fun just being with him. And let me tell you, I’m somebody who is very bad with remembering the entire script and the larger storyline of the film. But for Sanju, I had to remember the entire story just so that I could remind him.”
He added, “Because every day he used to show up and ask ‘Bro, what are we doing today?’ and then I used to tell him that we are doing this scene today, we did that scene yesterday, the scene preceding is that one, the one that follows has this and so on. And he used to be like ‘Kya yaar’. But it was a wonderful experience, and what happened on screen was magic.”

Arshad also addressed the buzz about Munna Bhai 3 and said, “See, with part 3, the thing is that once it was not happening at all, but now Raju (Rajkumar Hirani) is actually working on it. He is seriously working on it, and it seems like it should happen now.”
Earlier, producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra had also confirmed the project, emphasising that the new film must surpass its predecessors. He revealed, “The most important factor is that the next instalment has to get better than the previous films. But now, I have a unique idea. Over the course of 100 years of cinema, everything has been said. But yeah, I am working on that idea.”
