Overview
- Industry outlets reported on Wednesday that Variety India says Farhad Samji is writing the screenplay and that the film is expected to go on floors in 2027.
- Hirani has repeatedly said he will not rush a third Munna Bhai and wants a single, cohesive story before starting production, which explains the long development period.
- Coverage expects Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi to return as Munna and Circuit but neither casting nor an official production green light has been confirmed by the filmmakers.
- Arshad Warsi has previously said three unfinished drafts exist, each with strong scenes but missing the connective thread Hirani is seeking to fix.
- If filming begins next year, the project would reunite a culturally influential Bollywood franchise and force concrete scheduling decisions for the film's producers, cast, and crew as they set a shooting plan and release timeline.
