Sunjay Dutt says Munnabhai changed his life and image in many ways

Bollywood star, Sunjay Dutt, will soon be seen in the third instalment of Munnabhai series, and he feels very lucky on getting the chance for the third time.

The 52-year-old played a lead role in Rajkumar Hirani’s film ‘Munnabhai M.B.B.S’ back in 2003 and the film did an excellent business at the Indian box office. The second episode of the film, ‘Lage Raho Munna Bhai’ was released in 2006 and it also struck gold at the box office.

The B-Town Khalnayak will now return as Munna with Arshad Warsi, the Circuit, in Vidhu Chopra’s third film in the franchise, which is reportedly titled as ‘Munnabhai Ki Aatma Katha’.

While talking on his inclusion, Dutt said, “All I would say is I am happy with the response the film (Munnabhai MBBS) and my role has been getting even today. It is a memorable role and very few actors get to do it. I feel am lucky to have got this role. Personally, in daily life or even career-wise, Munnabhai has changed my life and image in many ways.”

Dutt, in the previous two episodes, was featured as a local goon with a golden heart but he believes the role of ‘Munna’ is a ‘memorable’ one.

The director of the movie revealed that Sunjay accepted the role of Munna without even reading the script.

“I feel Sanju is suitable for the role of Munna considering his huge built… just like a bhai. Also, in the film Munna has a golden heart, he helps everyone, solves all problems… just like how Sanju does in real life. I cannot see anyone playing Munna except Sanju,” Hirani said.

In the meanwhile, Dutt was also asked, if he has made any special preparations before getting into the skin of the character, on which the actor immediately replied by saying a no. Dutt said he is a ‘director’s actor’ so whatever he would be told, he will do it with a happy heart.

Well, all said and done, let’s see if Sunjay Dutt once again provides a ‘treat’ to the audiences.
