Did Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi reunite for ‘Munna Bhai 3’? Here’s the truth

Fans have been eagerly waiting for the third instalment in the ‘Munna Bhai’ franchise. Recently, actors Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi were spotted together, adding to the speculations that something might be happening soon. The duo was seen with director Rajkummar Hirani on a set that looked like a hospital.

Now, a Hindustan Times report states that the trio had come together for an ad shoot, and not their much-awaited sequel.

‘There is no film in the making. They shot for a commercial for a hospital, and the BTS video was released online, which started the rumours,’ a source told the publication.

Many industry insiders feel that ‘Munna Bhai 3’ may never happen. Another source told Hindustan Times, ‘There are very less chances of the third film happening now because of the fallout between Rajkummar Hirani and (producer) Vidhu Vinod Chopra. It has been several years since they parted ways following the #MeToo allegations against Hirani. In fact, there was a film with a working title Munna Bhai Chale America, but that was soon shelved without any reason. The script was finalised and the pre-production had also started, but it could not happen.’

Sources also share that the studios also got involved in the matter following the allegations and had pulled out their support.

A source from Star World had shared that ‘it was decided that Fox Studios would pull the plug on Munna Bhai 3 if Hirani was found guilty. The studio stands in solidarity with the survivor.'
