Veteran actor Boman Irani has recently been candid about his bond with Sanjay Dutt, with whom he previously collaborated on Munna Bhai M.B.B.S., during the recent song premiere of Prabhas' film The Raja Saab.

Speaking to the audience, Boman Irani recalled working with Sanjay Dutt as one of the most memorable times in his career. He stressed that Munna Bhai was an experience based on friendship, trust, and creative joy rather than merely a popular film series.

Boman Irani said, “Working with Sanjay Dutt has always been very special. Munna Bhai wasn’t just a film, it was an emotion. We were like a family, and those moments stay with you for life."

In response to a question about working with Sanjay after all these years, Boman said that their relationship has only "grown stronger over the years" and that it was both comfortable and rejuvenating to share screen time once more.

The veteran actor said, “He brings a unique energy to the set, making the working environment comfortable and creatively stimulating.”

Boman Irani also teased Munna Bhai 3 during the song launch. He kept the details under wraps and said, “I truly believe that when the time is right and the story is right, Munna Bhai 3 will happen. I have manifested it in my heart, and I’m hopeful that someday it will come together."

He added with a smile, "Ap log bhi Raju (Rajkumar Hirani) ko par pressure dalo (You people also put pressure on Raju (Rajkumar Hirani)).”
