Munnabhai team is back

The successful jodi of Munnabhai M.B.B.S., Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi, who are also a part of Munnabhai Meets Mahatma Gandhi, have consented to do one more project. But unlike Munnabhai, which was a comedy, this one�s a thriller.

Nikhil Panchamiya, who had produced Dil Maange More [Shahid, Soha, Ayesha], will produce the project in question, which will be directed by Raj Kaushal [Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi, Shadi Ka Laddoo]. Besides Sanju and Arshad, the makers have roped in Minisha Lamba [Yahaan] and Anusha Dandekar [Viruddh] as also Raghuveer Yadav for a key role.

Nikhil is forthcoming when divulging details about the project. �Let me clarify at the very outset, our film is not similar to Munnabhai. Both Sanju and Arshad have serious roles, but the situations they land into are amusing,� he discloses.

How did the project materialize? �Raj and I go a long way. I was handling the production of Mukul S. Anand�s Dus [Sanju, Salman], while Raj was assisting Mukul in that film. We developed a rapport then. Much later, I was the E.P. on Raj�s directorial debut Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi,� he enlightens.

Although Nikhil and Raj�s endeavor isn�t titled yet, they�ve already chalked out the shooting plans. The film will be shot in a start-to-finish schedule in Thailand in February.

That�s not all, for Nikhil plans to start two more projects thereafter. The first will star Abhay Deol and will be directed by Mukul Abhyankar [he was supposed to direct the Big B-Rishi Kapoor starrer Dogs] and a period film later [its details are under wraps presently].
