Subhash Kapoor, director of Phas Gaye Re Obama and soon to be released Jolly LLB is roped in to direct the third installment of Munnabhai franchise. The filmmaker's upcoming satire on Indian law system Jolly LLB is making lots of noise in trade and media these days.

Seasoned actor Arshad Warsi feels that the success of films like Kai Po Che and his upcoming film Jolly LLB tend to open doors for filmmakers believing in creating such cinema, who otherwise stand to be reluctant about doing so.

Last week there were quite a few options to choose from for the movie buffs with the only three releases being, Y-films' Mere Dad Ki Maruti, Subhash Kapoor directed Jolly L.L.B and EROS International's 3G. Though none has turned to be a great success but if go by the audiences' rating, then the Arshad Warsi, Amrita Rao and Boman Irani starrer, Jolly LLB has pipped the other two.

Good news for Arshad Warsi, as his film Jolly LLB, all set to release by mid-March, has evoked a positive response from the industry. Recently, Arshad showed the films to industry stalwarts Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rajkumar Hirani. The two were so impressed with the film, that they signed up the movie's director, Subhash Kapoor, for the next Munnabhai outing - Munnabhai Chale Delhi.

Renowned for his comic act as Circuit in Munnabhai films, such as Munna Bhai MMBS and Lage Raho Munna Bhai, Arshad Warsi says that he never played that character outside the franchise as he didn't want to disrespect it.
