Not many are aware that director Rajkumar Hirani’s first choice for his Munnabhai series was actor Shah Rukh Khan. Now that Hirani is planning to make his third movie, he wants to work with the original choice he had in mind. Incidentally this is not the sequel to Munnabhai. Insiders say that, Hirani is keen on making his third film, a non-Munnabhai film starring Shah Rukh. It is not a laugh-a-thon like the Munnabhai series but a comic one nevertheless.
Hirani also met SRK and discussed this possibility of working together. He is yet to receive any confirmation from King Khan. The Munnabhai director says, "My forthcoming film is set in a college. It takes a light-hearted look at the education system in India today. It is about how our faulty system is killing creativity. It is too early to mention who will be starring in it. I am also writing the third film in the Munnabhai series and the one that I finish writing first will be made into a film first."
Insiders add, "If one sees the end credits of Munnabhai MBBS rolling over, one line that is sure to grab attention is — ‘Special thanks to Shah Rukh Khan for his inputs on the script.’
The character of Munnabhai
was conceived by Hirani keeping the Badshah of Bollywood in mind. He had also initially signed him for the main lead but SRK had backed out citing his back problem. But in accordance with the Bollywood superstar’s constructive inputs in the script, the Munnabhai maker did not forget to acknowledge him in the end credits. Now he is very eager to work with him for his next project."
