Sanju fever: Ranbir Kapoor to play Circuit in Sanjay Dutt starrer Munna Bhai sequel?

Sanjay Dutt's stranger-than-fiction dramatic life inspired Rajkumar Hirani to make a Bollywood biopic with Ranbir Kapoor stepping into his shoes. Audiences and critics went gaga over Kapoor's portrayal of Dutt, and the biggest applaud for the actor came in the box office glory of his film. RK dazzles to the extent of blinding all your reservations pertaining to his career and stardom. However, we aren't the only ones impressed with his finesse.

Looks like Raju Hirani is smitten by the handsome Kapoor lad too. So much so, that the maker of blockbuster hits like PK and 3 Idiots has decided to cast his new find and an old gem together in his next! If a report by a leading magazine is anything to go by, the next installment in Hirani's Munna Bhai series will feature Dutt and Kapoor together! What's more? Ranbir is set to replace Arshad Warsi as the new Circuit, the report further states.

“Seeing Ranbir’s performance in Sanju everyone is impressed. The makers believe Ranbir and Sanjay will share great on-screen chemistry considering their rapport with each other,” the magazine quotes a source as saying. It is mention worthy that Circuit remains one of Warsi's most memorable roles, and it is somewhat surprising that Hirani would experiment a new face with the character. There is no official confirmation on the speculation yet.

Meanwhile, Ranbir and Sanjay will be sharing screen space in Yash Raj Film's upcoming magnum opus, Shamshera. While RK has clarified the film is not the story of a daaku, but dates back to the 1800s, the film is quite an unconventional choice, going by Kapoor and Dutt's filmography. Reason enough to make it a much-anticipated project on our list!

Coming back to Munna Bhai, what are your thoughts on the new Circuit? Bole toh, vaat laga dega?
