One from the mythology
Filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani says the bond shared between the characters of Munna and Circuit is behind the enduring appeal of his ‘Munnabhai’ franchise and promises that the third chapter in the story will be out as soon as he comes up with a crackling idea. Rajkumar made his directorial debut with ‘Munnabhai MBBS’ (2003) and followed it up with the sequel ‘Lage Raho Munnabhai’ in 2006. In the two movies, Sanjay Dutt played the affable goon Munna, while Arshad Warsi essayed the role of his loyal sidekick, Circuit. “Circuit was always there and he was a funny character, but obviously he [Arshad] brought so much life into it. Then for the second one it became very important to make it stronger, and so you’ll see Circuit in the second one has got more to do,” the director, who has reunited with Arshad on his upcoming series ‘Pritam and Pedro’, told PTI in an interview.
