This actor was offered the film ‘Munnabhai MBBS’
You must have liked Sanjay Dutt’s character in the film ‘Munnabhai MBBS’, but let us tell you that earlier this film was offered to Bollywood’s King Khan i.e. Shah Rukh Khan. When Rajkumar Hirani narrated the script of the film to Shahrukh Khan, he liked it very much. However, after some time, Shah Rukh Khan started procrastinating by making an excuse for not having dates. In such a situation, when Shah Rukh Khan refused to do the film, Vidhu Vinod Chopra asked Rajkumar Hirani to talk to Sanjay Dutt. Then this film reached Sanjay Dutt. Later Sanjay Dutt liked the story of the film very much and he said yes to do it.
Turning point for Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi
Rajkumar Hirani’s film ‘Munnabhai MBBS’ proved to be the turning point for Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi. After the success of the film, everyone started calling Sanjay Dutt as Munnabhai and Arshad Warsi as Circuit. After this, both were also offered many films one after the other.
