In June 2018, Hirani was asked a question while promoting his upcoming film "Sanju" and he was quoted as saying, "I definitely want to make a sequel to "3 Idiots", but it’s still in the initial stage and we will take a fair amount of time to develop the script". The report also said that Hirani will begin shooting for the "Munna Bhai" sequel with Sanjay Dutt. Work on "3 Idiots" will begin only after Hirani is done with "Munna Bhai 3".
