In the third part of Munnabhai series, ‘Munnabhai Chale Amrika’, may be delayed even further, due to Karan Johar’s ‘My Name Is Khan’.
Apparently Shah Rukh Khan did all those things in America in MNIK that Sanjay Dutt was supposed to do as Munnabhai in the States. And seeing these similarities between the script for Munnabhai Chale Amrika and MNIK, the Munnabhai writer Parijat Joshi has been sent back to the storyboard stage.
As to why it has taken three years for the makers to get serious about the Munnabhai franchise, Dutt says, “True, but no one has forgotten Munnabhai. No one can. Raju wanted to prove himself in a non-Munnabhai film. So he made 3 Idiots. And look at what he achieved with that. He’s by far the best filmmaker today.”
“We’d have gone ahead with the third Munnabhai film by the end of this year. But the script had to be changed. I think we’ll start by April 2011. The second Munnabhai film was better than the first. Now the third has to be better than the second,” adds Dutt.
