Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi to return for 'Munna Bhai 3'

'Golmaal' actor reveals next installment will release this year

Munna Bhai MBBS managed to impress the masses back in 2003. Some of it was relived through Sanju with Arshad Warsi's cameo and the reenactment of the jaadu ki jhappi scene. And it's safe to say that this is one of those movies you can watch again and again.

Its sequel Lage Raho Munna Bhai came three years later but didn't manage to create the same kind of hype. Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, the franchise chronicles the story of an friendly thug (Sanjay Dutt) and his loyal sidekick Circuit (Warsi).

The Golmaal star has now revealed that "if everything falls into place," a third installment will hit screen by the end of this year, reported The Indian Express. “I know that the script is pretty much ready. I know from Raju that the film will go on floors this year - either mid or the end of the year.The work on the script is going on. As of now, yes it’s Sanju and me. These are the things I’ve been told.”

There will be a gap of more than a decade between the second and third installment, and therefore Warsi says it’s slightly “scary” to pick up the character from where he left. “I tend to do my film and forget about my character and I move on to the next one. I tend to forget, which is what happened with Munna Bhai. When I came for the second part, I was doing the same role differently."

He continued, "I realised something isn’t quite right. Then Raju and I saw a couple of scenes from the first one and remembered how I should be doing. This time too, I’m sure I’ll do that.”
