Arshad Warsi opens up about Munnabhai 3 and sexual harassment charges on Rajkumar Hirani
Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi recently in an interview spoke about his next venture Munnabhai 3 and what he thought on the controversy revolves around director Rajkumar Hirani for the sexual harassment charges. He is busy in the promotions of his next film Fraud Saiyaan starring alongside Saurabh Shukla that is slated to release on 18th January 2019.
Arshad Warsi told Koimoi about rumours of Munnabhai 3, “I don’t know whether it was going to be made. It’s the question which often asked to me. But I really don’t know anything about that film. I’m only aware that Raju is working on the script and he got the thought but when was he going to make it, I don’t know. People have just covered the news, but it’s nothing like that yet.”
He also told what conversation he had with Rajkumar Hirani for Munnabhai 3. He said, “The last conversation that I had with Raju, he said that he’s still working on it. He hasn’t still cracked the film and once that is done, it will start.”
When asking about the sexual harassment charges made on Rajkumar Hirani by an assistant director and what he thinks of charges. “For me, I really don’t know what to say. To be honest, unless I don’t know the entire truth or is there any credibility to this accusation. Once the investigation is done and finds out the reality, then one can say yes or no. I have known him for so many years and according to me he is a thorough gentleman, he is a very nice person. I have never seen him ever do anything wrong. So it is very difficult for me to accept this story.” Arshad Warsi added.
This is to notice that an assistant director of Rajkumar Hirani made allegations on the director of sexual harassment on the sets of his last released film Sanju starring Ranbir Kapoor, Dia Mirza, and Sonam Kapoor.
