Filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra has officially confirmed that sequels to the iconic films 3 Idiots and Munna Bhai are in the works. During a recent interaction, he revealed that 3 Idiots and Munna Bhai 3 are under development, much to the excitement of fans.
Chopra also took a dig at some industry practices, criticizing filmmakers for inflating box office numbers. “Nobody went to see Zero Se Restart, yet they claimed it was a blockbuster. It’s embarrassing,” he said. He further said, “Marketing these days is all lies. They pay influencers to say whatever they want. All lies. Then their shows run empty, so they buy their own tickets and mislead about box office collections. I’m honestly admitting that my film was released yesterday, and very few people showed up. Nobody will admit on television that their film failed to open.”
Additionally, he acknowledged in the interview that the scripts for the follow-ups to his popular movies, 3 Idiots and Munna Bhai, are now being written and alluded to their possible imminent release. “I am writing both 2 Idiots and Munna Bhai 3. Additionally, I’m working on a children’s film—its title isn’t decided yet—and a horror comedy that’s quite interesting. We will write for one to two years before moving to production. I believe the possibility of 2 Idiots and Munna Bhai 3 coming soon is strong.”
Prior to its December 13 theatrical release, Zero Se Start made a triumphant debut at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa.
