Not one but three scripts are ready for Munna Bhai 3, reveals Arshad Warsi

Actor Arshad Warsi, who played Circuit in Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. and went on to make the character iconic in Lage Raho Munna Bhai, has revealed that the makers have three scripts in place for the much-awaited third installment of the Munna Bhai franchise.

Hyderabad: Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi has shared a major update on the highly-anticipated third installment of Munna Bhai franchise. The actor has shared that director Rajkumar Hirani and writer Abhijat Joshi have as many as three scripts ready on their hands.

The franchise, helmed by filmmmaker Rajkumar Hirani and produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, chronicles the story of an affable goon, Munna bhai (Sanjay Dutt), and his sidekick Circuit (Warsi). The first film Munna Bhai MBBS became a massive hit in 2003 and was followed by another 2006 sequel Lage Raho Munna Bhai. The much-anticipated third film has been in the headlines for quite some time, but nothing has been confirmed as of now.

Warsi has recently revealed that three scripts are ready for the third installment in the Munna Bhai franchise, but he is doubtful if the film will be made in the near future.

The 52-year-old actor said he is clueless about the reasons for the delay in the movie as "three scripts are almost ready, we have a producer who would love to make it. Director and actors, who are ready and the audience who wants to see it but still there is no film."

Chopra had revealed in February that the team had zeroed in on an idea for the third Munna Bhai movie and were developing it further.
