Munnabhai’s 2nd innings to be called Lage Raho Munnabhai

There has been so much speculation regarding the title of the sequel of producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra's Munnabhai MBBS .

The film, which went on the floors with a working title of 'Munnabhai 2', had earlier been named ‘Munnabhai 2nd Innings’. Then another title ‘Munnabhai Meets Mahatma’ was thought about.

But now, agency reports have it that the film has reportedly been re-titled Lage Raho Munnabhai following an opinion poll.

Vidhu Vinod Chopra is quoted by the agency: "When we announced ‘Munnabhai 2nd Innings’ many people reacted and even sent emails with their suggestions. That's when we felt that since Munna and Circuit have developed such a huge fan following, it would be nice if we could get people involved in selecting a title."

So Vinod Chopra Films went in for some market research. The first round was done in Mumbai, where randomly selected people were asked to choose between ‘Munnabhai 2nd Innings’ and ‘Lage Raho Munnabhai’. The results were too one-sided to believe. So, associates in several cities were roped in and the exercise repeated there. The combined response was almost unanimous. Over 90 per cent of the respondents chose "Lage Raho ..". They all said they liked the zing in the name. This settled the matter once and for all.

The comic caper starring Sanjay Dutt once again in the lead role as the good-hearted goon Munnabhai supported by Arshad Warsi as the inimitable Circuit is scheduled for release on September one, 2006.

‘Lage Raho Munnabhai’ is not a sequel but another episode in the life of Munna and Circuit and their encounter with the truth.

‘Lage Raho Munnabhai’ also stars Boman Irani and Jimmy Shergill who played significant roles in 'Munnabhai MBBS'. The new chapter has the talented Vidya Balan in the female lead along with Dia Mirza in a supporting role, Mr Chopra informed.

The original writer-producer-director team of Munnabhai MBBS - Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rajkumar Hirani wield their magic once again.
