Why Munna Bhai Chale America did not work for Munna Bhai 3?
"I have not left it. I want to make it till now. Right now I have an idea that is with me for the past 2 to 3 years. Before that, I wrote Munna Bhai Chale America. But, the script did not go up to the point as expected, so I left it. Then some things turn outdated. Then I thought of Munna Bhai BA LLB, I wrote it as well but it is like if you don't have knowledge of a particular world, the script does not reach that conclusion," said Raju Hirani.
"I felt that I needed to go deep into the legal world but till then Jolly LLB was made. It was quite a good movie. But, now, I have a subject for Munna Bhai 3 that is unique. I am working on it. Let's see where it goes. (Kayi baar aiesa hota hai ki aap 6 mahina kaam karey ho kabhi ban jata hai script kabhi ni ban pata) But I really want to make one," added Rajkumar Hirani."
