“Munna Bhai Chale Dilli”, the tentative title of the third “Munna Bhai” film of the popular Bollywood franchise, will be directed by Subhash Kapoor. The earlier films in the franchise – “Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.” and “Lage Raho Munnabhai” – were directed by Rajkumar Hirani under the Vidhu Vinod Chopra Films Pvt Ltd. banner.

After the success of the first two movies in the series, rumors were ripe that the third in the series is titled Munna bhai chale Amerika. The project did not take off for some reasons. Both the movies are highly successful commercially and were remade in several Indian languages.
