The atmosphere was already high-energy at the song launch for Prabhas’s upcoming film, The Raja Saab, but the temperature shifted the moment Boman Irani and Sanjay Dutt stepped into the frame together. For fans of Hindi cinema, seeing them side-by-side isn’t just a “celebrity sighting”—it’s a trip down memory lane to the wards of central hospital and the classrooms of Lucky Singh’s bungalow.
Boman Irani and Sanjay Dutt share a professional history that changed the trajectory of both their careers. While Sanjay was already a massive star, his portrayal of the “gangster with a heart of gold” in Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. (2003) redefined his image. Conversely, Boman Irani’s portrayal of the eccentric, laughter-therapy-loving Dr. Asthana was the breakthrough role that made him a household name.
The two have always shared a deep mutual respect. At the event, Boman spoke warmly about Sanjay, noting that their off-screen friendship is built on years of shared stories and “magic moments” on set. Sanjay, in his typical “Baba” style, was seen embracing Boman, reminding everyone that their camaraderie isn’t just for the cameras—it’s a genuine brotherhood.
You can’t put “Circuit’s brother” and “Dr. Asthana” in the same room without the conversation drifting toward the most anticipated sequel in Bollywood history. During the interaction at the launch, the air was thick with questions about Munna Bhai 3.
While there hasn’t been an official “green light” announcement from director Rajkumar Hirani, the duo dropped enough hints to keep the fire burning.
Both actors expressed a deep-seated wish to return to those characters. Boman mentioned that playing opposite Sanjay brings out a specific kind of energy that he hasn’t found elsewhere.
Despite the Munna Bhai nostalgia, the duo was there to support the team of The Raja Saab. Boman Irani, who is known for his versatility, discussed how the landscape of Indian cinema is becoming more inclusive and “Pan-Indian.” He praised the scale of the film and the infectious energy of the new song.
Sanjay Dutt, who has been taking on formidable antagonist roles in South Indian cinema lately, looked every bit the superstar, adding his “swag” to the promotional event. Their presence together served as a bridge between the classic era of Bollywood storytelling and the modern, high-octane spectacle of current cinema.
The The Raja Saab launch wasn’t just about a song; it was a reminder of why we love the movies. It was about the longevity of friendships in a fickle industry and the hope that we might see Dr. Asthana and Munna Bhai locking horns one more time. Whether Munna Bhai 3 happens this year or the next, Boman Irani and Sanjay Dutt have proven that their “Jaadu Ki Jhappi” hasn’t lost its touch.
