Munnabhai M.B.B.S that was released in 2003 became an instant hit and Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi's characters Munna and Circuit became extremely popular among the masses. The sequel to the film, Lage Raho Munnabhai (2006), was also welcomed with equal jest. While the third part to the film was announced in 2006 itself, the makers including director Rajkumar Hirani and producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra never went ahead with it.
Now, in a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Arshad Warsi and Boman Irani who played pivotal roles in the franchise opens up about the sequel. When asked about the third part, Boman said, "I don't know if we should say this but there is news. There is some news, and the news is there is no news," Boman said. Arshad agreed with him.
Earlier this year, in an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Vidhu Vinod Chopra had said, "Our joy comes from creating cinema. Our joy comes from striving for excellence. Honestly, I have not made the third Munnabhai, which will get me how many crores you can ask industry experts, because I still don't have a script I like, then I must be crazy. Abhijat(Joshi) is mad, so is Raju Hirani. We all are mad. We are seeking happiness and joy which we believe is beyond money."
