Buzz about the third instalment of the Munnabhai series has been on for the last two years. Director Rajkumar Hirani has even gone on record stating that the film will go on floors once Sanjay Dutt, the lead actor of the franchise, completes his prison term as the scripting process is underway. But writer-director Subhash Kapoor, who was roped in to develop the story of Munnabhai's third instalment, has a different version to offer.

"The script isn't ready," says Kapoor, dismissing rumours of it having already been fleshed out. He says that he has not a discussion with producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra to start working on the script after Sanjay went to jail last year on charges of illegal arms possession in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case. "So, I have not put the idea into script. I don't know when I will start or when the film is expected to roll," he adds.
