Arshad Warsi Fires Up Fans with Munna Bhai 3 Update – Says Sanjay Dutt Has Rajkumar Hirani ‘At Gunpoint’

It’s been almost twenty years since Sanjay Dutt’s lovable goon Munna Bhai first strutted onto the screen, side‑by‑side with Arshad Warsi’s unforgettable Circuit. The duo’s chemistry, first seen in Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. and later in Lage Raho Munna Bhai, still sparks nostalgia among Bollywood fans.

Now, the wait for the third instalment finally got a little less vague. Speaking to SCREEN, Warsi let slip a tongue‑in‑cheek story that’s already making the rounds on social media. “Sanju has Rajkumar Hirani at gunpoint to make another one,” he laughed, adding that the director even appeared on national TV, pleading, “Sanju, I’m making it, Sanju.” The joke, of course, is that Sanjay’s enthusiasm is pushing the filmmaker to finally nail down a script that lives up to the franchise’s legacy.

Warsi’s quip isn’t just a punchline; it hints that Hirani is, indeed, back at the drawing board. The director has long been vocal about the pressure of delivering a story worthy of the first two beloved films. According to him, the challenge isn’t a lack of ideas but finding a narrative arc that can sustain the magic beyond the iconic interval.

When director Tigmanshu Dhulia, who’s also helming Warsi’s upcoming series Ghamasaan, turned the conversation towards improvisation, the actor opened up about his creative process. “A lot was improvised in the first Munna Bhai,” Warsi said, smiling. “In the second, Raju (Hirani) knew exactly what I was going to say, but I still got to sprinkle in the ‘senseless’ bits that make Circuit so quirky.” He clarified that the famous “stars” scene was largely scripted, though he added his own spontaneous flavor to the lighter moments.

For those wondering where to see Warsi next, Ghamasaan lands on ZEE5 on September 11, where he shares screen space with Pratik Gandhi. As for Munna Bhai 3, the actor’s light‑hearted reassurance – “I’m just really praying for it. Raju is seriously working on it, so fingers crossed for everyone!” – is perhaps the most hopeful signal yet.

Fans will have to keep their eyes glued to announcements from Rajkumar Hirani’s camp. Until then, the rumor mill will continue buzzing about Sanju’s “gun‑point” tactics, while the iconic duo’s legacy remains firmly cemented in Bollywood folklore.
