The latest buzz is that Aamir Khan will replace Sanjay Dutt and Sharman Joshi will replace Arshad Warsi in upcoming films of Rajkumar Hirani’s Munna Bhai franchise.
A source reveals, “The idea of casting Aamir and Sharman came up during the shoot of 3 Idiots. Hirani felt that a new pair would bring in a fresh breath of air into the film. Aamir and Sharman have amazing comic timing and also great chemistry onscreen. You can see that even in their first film together, Rang De Basanti. When he shared the idea with Aamir, he loved it. He told Rajkumar that he would be game for it if the script was interesting.”
Another source says, “Though Sanjay played Munna Bhai to perfection, having Aamir on board will take the franchise to the next level. He is not only a fine actor, but also a much bigger brand name, and a marketing genius.”
A source close to the working franchise informs, “A few months ago, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rajkumar Hirani had a closed door meeting with Sanju, where they told him that they would not be going ahead with him in the Munna Bhai sequel. This definitely upset Sanju.”
Recently we have seen that Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rajkumar Hirani were not present at Sanjay Dutt’s party.
When Hirani was contacted, he denied it.
