Arshad Warsi Revisits Circuit’s Origins, Says Hirani Has Scripts Ready for Munna Bhai 3

He says the planned 'Munna Bhai Chale America' was dropped due to a storyline overlap with Shah Rukh Khan’s 'My Name Is Khan'.

Overview

  • Arshad Warsi says he nearly declined playing Circuit in Munna Bhai MBBS until a tarot reader urged him to accept the role.
  • He recalls resisting the part because he feared another minor supporting turn would hurt his career and recognition.
  • Warsi says the character’s original name, Khujli, was changed to Circuit and many memorable moments came from his improvisation.
  • He explains that Munna Bhai Chale America was shelved after the team felt it resembled My Name Is Khan, citing director Rajkumar Hirani’s aversion to overlaps.
  • Warsi reports that Hirani is developing a third Munna Bhai film and has multiple scripts ready, with no production timeline announced.
