Actress Dia Mirza said she would like to see another Munna Bhai installment, even though she has previously expressed a dislike for sequel productions.
Dia Mirza, a veteran Bollywood actress, recently voiced her wish for a fresh Munna Bhai sequel, a franchise that has enjoyed cult status since the early 2000s. In an interview, she acknowledged that while she generally prefers original stories over follow‑ups, the iconic characters of Munna Bhai and Circuit still hold a special place in Indian cinema.
She noted that the original films' blend of humor, social commentary, and heart resonated with audiences across generations, and a new chapter could tap into that legacy while addressing contemporary themes.
Mirza’s comments come at a time when producers are exploring revivals of classic franchises, and her endorsement adds star power to any potential negotiations. However, she reiterated that any sequel would need to meet high creative standards to justify revisiting the beloved saga.
