 The inimitable Munnabhai and his funny sidekick Circuit are now headed to the United States in the third movie of the ‘Munnabhai’ series. After taking on the medical system (in Munnabhai MBBS ) and spreading the message of Gandhigiri (in Lage Raho Munnabhai ), Munna and Circuit are now going across the Atlantic. The idea to take the two characters into the US first arose when director Rajkumar Hirani saw Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi sitting together in a golf-cart in the US. The thought of two ‘bhais’ being transported to the US took Hirani’s fancy. When Dutt came to know about this idea, he liked it very much and asked Hirani to make a film on it. That is how Munnabhai Chale Amerika was conceived. Even though Hirani and writer Abhijat Joshi are still working on the script, the film’s producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Hirani have shot a small trailer of the movie. The trailer shows both Munnabhai and Circuit learning English to go to Amerika. Hirani says he wants to take the concept of Gandhigiri further in the next Munnabhai film. Using Munnabhai’s trademark humour, the film will take on George W Bush’s principles. The film’s trailer was shot at Karjat, near Mumbai, on January 25. Hollywood star Ralph Fiennes, currently in India, accompanied Chopra (his friend) on the sets during the shoot. Fiennes also met Dutt and Warsi. The Munnabhai trailer will be shown with Chopra’s forthcoming movie Eklavya , which hits the theatres on February 16.

MTV is reporting that Derek Luke is saying that he heard Will Smith was offered the role of Captain America in the upcoming Marvel Movie. Think about that for a second. That is like me saying my Bus Driver told my Son that Will Smith got offered the role in Captain America. If the fact that Captain America is a major superhero character and is WHITE is not enough to debunk it.. I dont know what is.
