Has Hirani dumped Munnabhai?
Sad news for Munnabhai fans. According to the latest buzz, Vidhu Vinod Chopra may not make another Munnabhai sequel at all. A source in the production house was quoted in Mid Day, saying, "Rajkumar Hirani and the America-based writer, Abhijat Joshi cannot seem to take the story for the third installment forward."
Apparently, in the initial drafts, the story goes that Sanjay Dutt dies due to an accident and by the end of the film Arshad Warsi too dies.' The plan to kill the main characters in this third sequel was because the makers of the film wanted to make the fourth film where Sanjay and Arshad's souls meet God. However the idea didn't go down well with Sanjay Dutt.
"Sanjay Dutt made a scene and told the director Raju and producer Vidhu that Munnabhai couldn't be killed as he was the life and soul of the stories and without Munna, there can be no more films," the source added.
Hirani is currently working on Idiot starring Aamir Khan and Kajol in leading roles. Hirani was unavailable for the comments.
