Makers of the hit franchise Munnabhai have said that they will wait for Sanjay Dutt to return after which they will go ahead with the making of the third film in the series. "The reel <em>Munnabhai</em> will wait for the real Munnabhai. He will indeed walk on the sets of the next Munnabhai as he comes back to us free," Raj Kumar Hirani and Vidhu Vinod Chopra said in a statement.

Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s next film Chitthiyaan is inspired by the life of his late wife and film editor Renu Saluja, sister of film actress Radha Saluja. Chopra’s film will not only trace his relationship with Renu but also the dynamics between him and Sudhir Mishra at a later stage. Apparently, Renu’s involvement with Mishra had caused friction between the filmmakers who were once thick friends.
