During an event in Mumbai, the notable filmmaker discussed his first hit, “Munna Bhai MBBS” while hinting that he might soon begin working on a third film in the franchise.

“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 Rajkumar Hirani.

According to the filmmaker, the biggest challenge in writing the script for ‘Munnabhai 3’ is to make it better than the previous films.

“The most important factor is that the next instalment 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,” he said.

The filmmaker is widely known for giving hits such as ‘Munna Bhai MBBS,’ “Lage Raho Munna Bhai,” “3 Idiots,” “PK,” “Sanju” and “Dunki.”
