Analysed 28 Jun 2026·14 sources analysed·Goa, India·Entertainment
Rajkumar Hirani Discusses Munna Bhai 3, 3 Idiots Sequel, and New ProjectsPreviousNext

Filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani is developing multiple projects, including Munna Bhai 3 and the 3 Idiots sequel, both currently in the scriptwriting stage. Hirani emphasizes not rushing Munna Bhai 3, aiming to match the quality of previous films, with actor Arshad Warsi noting three unfinished scripts lacking a key element. Hirani also debunks reports of a new film with Ranbir Kapoor. The duo reunites in Hirani's streaming debut, Pritam and Pedro, featuring his son Vir Hirani. Hirani highlights the enduring Munna Bhai bond, likening Munna and Circuit to Ram and Hanuman.
