Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, "Munna Bhai MBBS", which released in 2003, was a turn around in Dutt's career where he played the affable Munna aka Murli Prasad Sharma. It was followed by sequel, "Lage Raho Munna Bhai" (2006)
At the trailer launch of "Bhoomi" here last evening, when Dutt was asked if making a comeback with "Munna Bhai 3" would've been a better decision, filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra said the makers are still writing it.
"Just ask him (Abhijat Joshi, writer) that question. He is still writing. We have been writing for three years," quipped Chopra.
Dutt said both Hirani and Abhijat, along with his friends and family, have been with him through thick and thin and he can not wait to start the next "Munna Bhai" movie with them.

"Raju and Abhijat have given me the best film of my life and that's 'Munna Bhai...'. After 'Bhoomi', I won't do anything else and just focus on Munna bhai (part 3)."
"I've made four films by now, three of which feature him. My fifth one is about him (referring to biopic on Dutt). He has inspired me. He made Munna Bhai great. I really wouldn't have been what I am without Sanju. We have been waiting to see Sanju the actor," Hirani said.
"Bhoomi" is scheduled to release on September 22.
