Raju’s Munnabhai In Demand Raj Kumar Hirani |
Raju Hirani should be actually nicknamed as ‘Munna’ now as he made the fantastic ‘Munnabhai’ series and came to be known as the ‘Munnabhai maker’. Now, people are desperate enough to see his third sequel for ‘Munnabhai’ series.
When Karan Johar used Raju’s idea from his next ‘Munnabhai’ sequel ‘Munnabhai Chale Amrika’ and made ‘My Name is Khan’, Raju dropped the idea of continuing with the sequel. The reason was that even Raju wanted the character of the movie to go and meet the US President as shown in the movie ‘My Name Is Khan’.
But after Raju had drawn the curtains, his fans and friends are asking about the sequel. In fact he has tremendous pressure from the movie distributors and fans to go ahead with the concept.
He adds, “Wherever I go, people walk up to me and say 'Where is that Munnabhai film whose trailer you showed us with Eklavya?' Some people are even slightly aggressive and say, "Aap ne trailer dikhaya, film kahan hai?”
Now, Raju is again thinking over his decision and he adds, “Munna and Circuit are very interesting characters we have created and we can say many socially relevant things using them.”
He adds that he will modify the character of Sanjay Dutt in the ‘Munnabhai’ sequel and he would age it as per the present look of the actor.
