Rajkumar Hirani’s Munna Bhai MBBS, starring Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi, Gracy Singh, Boman Irani among others, completed 20 years since its release on Tuesday, and to mark the day, the film’s lead actors took to social media. Sanjay, who played the titular character of a benevolent yet fear-inducing don in the film, was going through a rather rough patch when the movie fell into his lap and helped him in transforming his career.

As he shared a caption on Instagram, Sanjay wrote that he hoped for a third film in the franchise soon. The actor shared on Instagram, “Two decades of laughter, emotions, and a whole lot of jadoo ki jhappi! Celebrating 20 years of Munna Bhai MBBS, a journey filled with unforgettable moments. Grateful for the love and support that made this film a timeless classic. Hoping that Munna Bhai 3 will be made soon!”

Arshad Warsi, who played the memorable Circuit, wrote, “20 years, wow, seems like yesterday… I thank you all for loving Munna & Circuit so much 🙏”
