The movie that is set to release in September 1, has music composer Shantanu Moitra making the two dance to his music. Moitra pulled a surprise on Warsi by conning him into exercising his vocal chords.
“We didn’t tell him that he has to sing. We just got him to the studio and told him that he had to say a dialogue. He was happy. When he went behind the mike, I asked him if he could sing the first line - Aye hua kya. He started saying it. I told him to sing it. He said ‘Are you crazy?’ I insisted that he sing it. So it was the spontaneity of it that we have on the record, which was the first take. By the second and the third take it became completely disastrous," said Moitra.
Like Moitra, who replaced Anu Malik, the music composer of Munnabhai MBBS, the second innings has Vidya Balan playing Munnabhai's love interest instead of Gracy Singh.
Some other characters from the original like Jimmy Shergil, who incidentally died at the end of the first film and Boman Irani have been retained.
But both appear as new characters and in a completely new set up.
Interestingly, if you have seen the promos and the posters carefully, you will notice that Mahatma Gandhi himself is making a cameo in the film.
"Actually the whole Gandhi angle is one thing that I do not want to talk about. It is like Lagaan did not talk about cricket. This angle is very unique and the fun will be lost if I talk about it now," said the director of Lage Raho Munnabhai, Raj Kumar Hirani.
This film, incidentally, underwent five name changes and was infact at one stage called Munnabhai meets Mahatma Gandhi.
