Vidhu Vinod Chopra on third installment of Munna Bhai: 'Hope I make it this year'

Arshad Warsi had earlier confirmed that Munna Bhai 3 will go on floors by the end of 2019 with Sanjay Dutt also on board. However, the third installment was reportedly put on hold following allegations of sexual harassment against Rajkumar Hirani. Now Vidhu Vinod Chopra, who produced Munna Bhai as well as other films helmed by Hirani, has opened up about the status of the film. In an interview with Indian Express, the filmmaker said, “I haven’t yet made my next Munna Bhai because I didn’t get a proper script. I hope I make it this year.” [caption id=“attachment_4381525” align=“alignnone” width=“825”] Vidhu Vinod Chopra.
