Filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani, who is one of the most popular and most successful film directors in the Hindi film industry, discussed his first hit, 'Munna Bhai MBBS' at an event in Mumbai, and hinted that he might soon be making a third film in the franchise.
Hirani told Indian Express he has not just one or two, but five scripts in the works. “I have five half-finished scripts for Munna Bhai. I spent six months on a script, reach the interval, and it just wouldn’t go beyond that. There is a 'Munna Bhai LLB', 'Munna Bhai Chal Base', 'Munna Bhai Chale Amreeka', and more,” said the director who spoke about the biggest challenge of writing a Munna Bhai film. “The most important factor is that the next installment has to get better than the previous films. But now, I have a unique idea. Of course, over the course of 100 years of cinema, everything has been said. But yeah, I am working on that idea.”
Hirani is known for making films like 'Munna Bhai MBBS', 'Lage Raho Munna Bhai', '3 Idiots', 'PK', 'Sanju' and 'Dunki'. He is one of the few filmmakers who has never had a flop at the box office. He is currently working on a streaming show which stars actor Vikrant Massey. The director is yet to announce his next film.
