Munna Bhai 3 is happening, as per the latest updates. Notably, reports of a third entry emerged many years ago, and for unknown reasons, they did not move forward. The new report was confirmed by Variety India.
Rajkumar Hirani and Farhad Samji are working together this time, with the latter being involved in the writing of the film. This is not their first collaboration, as the duo worked together on the first film in 2003, with Samji writing the opening portions of the song, M Bole Toh.
Rajkumar Hirani opened up about a possible sequel in an interview, saying that it was in development. However, he added that he did not want to make a follow-up until the script was perfect. He mentioned that this is the reason he brought Farhad, aiming to give a new touch to the franchise.
The new update has also revealed that Farhad will complete writing the film in a short period, and the third sequel will go on the floors sometime in the upcoming year. But a potential release date is yet to be confirmed.
While audiences are happy with the fact that a third Munna Bhai is coming, they questioned Rajkumar’s choice, asking why he chose Farhad Samji to write the film. Some even stated that if Rajkumar was not finding anyone, he could have written the film himself, since he has a better knowledge of what the audience is going to accept.
Netizens reacted on social media by pointing out the work of Farhad Samji, including films that were not accepted by the audience, such as Bachchhan Paandey and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan.
The genuine fans of the Munna Bhai franchise are now requesting Rajkumar Hirani to find someone else to write a script instead of Farhad Samji. Some even claimed that if Hirani does not change his decision, a successful franchise might end up as a disaster at the box office this time.
The final decision undoubtedly depends on Rajkumar Hirani. Amid the ongoing debate, the excitement also remains to witness the iconic characters return to the big screen.
