Actor reflects on his iconic partnership with Sanjay Dutt as director Rajkumar Hirani reportedly moves closer to greenlighting the film.
Fans of the much-loved Munna Bhai franchise finally have reason to celebrate. Actor Arshad Warsi, who brought to life the unforgettable character “Circuit,” has hinted that the long-awaited Munna Bhai 3 may soon become a reality. In a recent interview, Warsi revealed that acclaimed filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani is now “seriously working on” the project after years of speculation and delays.
“Earlier, it was not happening at all, but now it seems like it should happen,” Warsi said enthusiastically, giving fans renewed optimism about the return of the iconic duo — Munna Bhai and Circuit.
Fond Memories and Timeless Chemistry with Sanjay Dutt
Reflecting on his bond with co-star Sanjay Dutt, who portrayed the lovable gangster Munna Bhai, Warsi fondly recalled the energy and camaraderie they shared on set during the making of Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. and Lage Raho Munna Bhai.
“Every day, Sanju would walk in and ask, ‘Bro, what are we doing today?’ and I’d remind him of the scenes,” Warsi reminisced with a laugh. “Whatever happened on screen was pure magic.”
The pair’s effortless chemistry became one of Bollywood’s most celebrated partnerships, blending humor, emotion, and heartwarming friendship that defined early 2000s cinema. Their performances not only entertained millions but also left a lasting impact with the films’ powerful social messages.
Rajkumar Hirani’s Perfectionism Keeps Fans Waiting
Director Rajkumar Hirani, renowned for his storytelling finesse and perfectionism, has long maintained that he would only proceed with Munna Bhai 3 once he was “200% sure” of the script. Last year, Hirani hinted that he had discovered a “unique idea” for the film but wanted to ensure it lived up to the emotional depth and humor of its predecessors.
Warsi’s latest comments, however, have reignited excitement, suggesting that the script might finally be ready. If all goes as planned, the beloved duo could soon return to the big screen after more than a decade-long wait.
Beyond the Munna Bhai buzz, Arshad Warsi continues to charm audiences with versatile roles. He recently earned praise for his performance in Bhagwat Chapter One: Raakshas on ZEE5 and will next appear in Welcome To The Jungle and Dhamaal 4, the latter slated for an Eid 2026 release.
The Munna Bhai series, with its iconic dialogues and emotional core, remains a cornerstone of Indian pop culture. Warsi’s latest revelation has rekindled fans’ hope that Munna Bhai 3 could soon bring back the laughter, warmth, and friendship that made the franchise unforgettable.
