Rajkumar Hirani in conversation with Pinkvilla shared, “Even I want to make one more but I’ve been generally struggling with a script for a long time. I’ve many unfinished Munna Bhai scripts lying with me and Sanju (Sanjay Dutt) keeps calling often that let’s make this film.”
In the interview, he further mentioned that he doesn’t want to rush into it; he has an idea in mind, but it needs to be fleshed out and etched out. He shared that he and Sanju (Sanjay Dutt) will definitely make another Munna Bhai film.
Furthermore, when asked if the storyline of ‘Munnabhai Chale America’ was similar to Shah Rukh Khan's ‘Dunki’ as that involved Munna and Circuit aspiring to go to America, Rajkumar Hirani responded by saying, “No, that was a completely different story. That story was basically in a nutshell about George Bush that time had made some statement, some anti-Muslim statement he had made, and the whole story was these guys got very upset with it, and they said ‘hum jaate hain George Bush ko pakad ke India le kar aate hain (We’ll go to America and bring George Bush to India)’ toh it was a story like that.”
He further added, “And to go to America they said ‘fir wahan hum usse baat kaise karenge, English seekhte hain (So after going to America they wondered how would they talk to him so they thought of learning English)’, so we made a trailer of learning English for a while but that was a completely fictional unreal story. Yeah, the common aspect was there those guys were learning English here also they are learning English but for absolutely different reasons, there is no other commonality.”
