Contrary to reports, Ranbir Kapoor isn’t replacing Arshad Warsi in Munna Bhai 3

After the smashing success of Sanju (2018) at the box-office, rumours have been rife that filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani will reteam with Ranbir Kapoor for a new project. While every film enthusiasts were happy to know that the hit director-actor duo will collaborate again, what sent movie buffs into a frenzy were reports which stated that Hirani is planning to replace Arshad Warsi with Ranbir Kapoor in the next instalment of the Munna Bhai series.

However, it has now been revealed that no one is replacing Warsi in the Munna Bhai franchise. Only Arshad will play Circuit whenever Munna Bhai 3 is made.


"Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi will always be Munna Bhai and Circuit. Some writer somewhere got excited about the idea of having Hirani and Ranbir work together again after Sanju, and he decided, on their behalf, that they would be doing Munna Bhai together. The truth is, there is no script ready for the next Munna Bhai film yet. Writer Abhijat Joshi has been asked to work on it, but he’s yet to crack a subject," a source reveals.

The source goes on to add that Hirani is indeed planning to work with Kapoor again, "But not Munna Bhai. That will be with Dutt and Warsi only"

Sumukhi Suresh says Hoemonal proves women back bold comedy on their own terms

Sumukhi Suresh Unfiltered: Why women deserve bigger stages as she brings a riskier 'Hoemonal' to London

Highlights:

  • Comedian-creator Sumukhi Suresh frames Hoemonal as a string of lived moments shaped by “hormones” rather than neat narratives.
  • The show has grown in scope since its last London run: larger venues, fuller ambitions and a clearer audience focus on women.
  • Sumukhi discusses risk, crafting unlikeable protagonists (Pushpavalli), founding Motormouth Writers and the practical demands of touring big productions.

Sumukhi Suresh opened Hoemonal by naming the show’s true co-star: hormones. The title, she says, is not a punchline. It works more like a container for all the loose, messy pieces of life that she threads together onstage — the doubts, the desires, the shifts in confidence, and the everyday disorder most women recognise but rarely hear spoken aloud.

Speaking exclusively to Eastern Eye ahead of her London shows, Sumukhi Suresh is direct, thoughtful and quick with her humour, much like she is onstage.
