Vidya balan joins Sanjay Dutt’s home Productions Subah Ho Gayi Mamu

Nov 17, 2008

With his own production house taking off, Sanjay Dutt would like nothing better than to carry on Munnabhai’s legacy in some form or another. He’s now producing Subah Ho Gayi Mamu with Vidya Balan which more or less continues where Lage Raho Munnabhai let off.

Confirming the news, Dharam Oberoi, the production house CEO, said, “Dutt is keen on signing on Vidya. He feels they complement each other perfectly.” But it remains to be seen whether the Munnabhai magic can be recreated without Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Raj Kumar Hirani, both of whom are busy making other films and have yet to consider the third installment of their popular comedy, Munnabhai Chale Amrika .

The title of the film, you remember, is the whacky wake-up call in Munnabhai MBBS . And the film is to be directed by Ajay Chandok.
Said a source, “Dutt knows that Munnabhai is the brand name he’s identified with. Which could fade away if not taken further.” For Vidya, the film will prove to be a kind of ‘kismat connection’.
