Latest news is that, Aamir Khan will play the role of Munna in Munnabhai Series next replacing Sanjay Dutt, as the director found Sanju too old to play the role. Also Circuit, Arshad Warsi has been replaced by Sharman Joshi who did well in "Three Idiots".
The makers were looking for a perfect pair which could replace the old duo and has found them in Aamir-Sharman. A source told that, "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."
"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," an another source said.
On other hand Sanju is not happy with this step of the Munnabhai franchise as told by a close source, he said that, "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."
However, it would be interesting to watch the duo working together again after the magical "3 Idiots" where they won hearts of all with their acting.
