Rajkumar Hirani also wants it to be made, and Sanjay Bhai also wants to do it and I will do it too. But the film is not being made yet."

"Raju has three great scripts for the sequel. Some things are missing here and there. I don't think that's happening. Now a lot of time has passed. I told Raju that whatever begins, also has an end. Looks like we left the Munna Bhai film franchise on interval. Everyone is impatient because it is not over yet. Munna Bhai series needs to end,' added Arshad.

Rajkumar Hirani indeed delivered the best films with his 'Munna Bhai' franchise. The director proved the mettle of his brilliant storytelling while making these two movies the brightest gem of his filmography which is well decked up with a 100% success track record.
