Munna Bhai franchise to return with a new installment, five script ideas in the works

Director Rajkumar Hirani is reviving the beloved Munna Bhai franchise, with Sanjay Dutt set to reprise his iconic role. Hirani revealed that he is working on five different script ideas for the next film, including "Munna Bhai LLB", "Munna Bhai Chal Base", and "Munna Bhai Chale Amreeka", with an aim to make the next installment better than the previous films.

The Munna Bhai franchise, which first started in 2003 with the hit film "Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.", has a dedicated fan base in India. Hirani, who directed both "Munna Bhai M.B.B.S." and "Lage Raho Munna Bhai", is considering a new direction for the franchise. According to the director, the main challenge in creating the next installment is to make it better than the previous films. Hirani has stated that he has a unique idea he is working on, but ultimately wants to make it special and memorable for the audience.

Sanjay Dutt, who played the lead role in the series, is eager to reprisal his iconic character and has even threatened Hirani to finish the script. Although Hirani is currently working on other projects, including a streaming show starring Vikrant Massey, and has hinted that his next feature film has not yet been announced, he remains committed to bringing the Munna Bhai franchise back to the big screen. The new film aims to surpass the success of the previous installments, Munna Bhai MBBS (2003) and Lage Raho Munna Bhai (2006), which further emphasizes the stakes for Hirani.

Rajkumar Hirani's decision to revive the Munna Bhai franchise is likely to elicit a positive response from the fans who have been eagerly awaiting another installment of the series. With Sanjay Dutt set to reprise his role and Hirani working on five different script ideas, the possibilities are endless, and the audience can expect something unique and memorable from the director.
