In a surprising turn of events, fans on social media are buzzing with speculation that renowned filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani might have integrated his shelved project, "Munnabhai Chale America," into his latest offering, "Dunki," starring Shahrukh Khan.

 

Hirani, acclaimed for hits like "Munnabhai MBBS" and "Lage Raho Munnabhai," had initially intended to create a third sequel, "Munnabhai Chale America," after the success of his previous films. However, he decided to abandon the idea, expressing dissatisfaction with the script he had developed for the proposed movie.

 

The intriguing fan theory gained traction as enthusiasts pointed out that an announcement video for "MunnaBhai Chale America" had been released years ago. The teaser featured Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi planning a trip to America, providing glimpses of their characters learning English, showcasing their preparation for the anticipated journey.

 

Fast forward to the present, where "Dunki" has hit the screens and is receiving positive reviews since its release on December 21, 2023. The film revolves around Shahrukh Khan's character and his friends attempting to immigrate to London, involving scenes of them joining IELTS classes to enhance their English proficiency.

 

The key element that has sparked speculation is the commonality in themes between the abandoned "MunnaBhai Chale America" project and "Dunki." With both films exploring the protagonists' ambitions to travel abroad and showcasing language learning endeavors, fans are now questioning whether Hirani repurposed the original concept for his latest directorial venture.

 

As fans eagerly await clarification on this intriguing theory, it remains to be seen whether Rajkumar Hirani will address the similarities between the two projects and shed light on the evolution of his creative vision from "MunnaBhai Chale America" to "Dunki."
