Reports are suggested that Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi famously known as Munnabhai and Circuit, might not return with the next film in the Munnabhai series.
Producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra wants a complete makeover for his super hit series Munnabhai and the surprising element is that there might not be any presence of real Munnabhai and Circuit in the third part of the series despite the fact is that these two are the main reason behind the film being successful.
A close friend of Vidhu Vinod Chopra explained, “"Sanjay and Arshad looked very different in 2006, by the time the third part is ready, it could be another two years. Keeping this in mind, a fresh and young cast is being considered for the two male leads."
Also Rajkumar Hirani might not direct the movie; he might co-produce it with Chopra. A source close to Hirani said, "Hirani has finished writing his super script which he refers to as his dream project. Naturally, it will be with a big hero. He is fast working out the cast. He is very close to the Munnabhai series. Even if he doesn't direct the third, he will be attached to the project in some way. He might co-produce it with a completely new director."
Vidhu Vinod Chopra is now searching a new director who can handle the responsibility and pressure of this much anticipated hit series. Reports also suggested that either Do Dooni Chaar director Habib Faisal might step into Hirani's shoes or Kites director Anurag Basu may take command behind the camera.
The third film in the Munnabhai series was supposed to be Munnabhai Chale Amerika. A few trailers had also been shot for the project with Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi back in 2006-07. But now the scene is totally different. The Munnabhai Chale Amerika script has been dropped by Hirani. The new and fresh script for the third part will be ready shortly and an official announcement will be made soon in this regard.
