Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rajkumar Hirani made cynical movies on the two most preferred education courses of India. There was a time in India when every student said he or she wanted to be an Engineer or a Doctor. The movies 3 Idiots and Munnabhai MBBS took both the professions – medical education (MBBS) and Engineering as their subjects and showed the drawbacks of the most admired professional education systems.

These movies showed that the students studying in these institutions are not very close to life and their education sometimes has no link to what they want to do in life. Today the situation is changed and students have other professional options and the craze for engineering and medicine is almost gone .Now Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rajkumar Hirani are planning to make another movie of Munnabhai series where Munnabhai will go to America.

In the last two decades many from India have gone to America or are planning to go to America and there is a huge craze in some parts of India, where people want to go out – to any foreign country .There are many who dream to go to America but the strict visa rules makes it impossible for them to reach U.S.

Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rajkumar Hirani must be targeting this craze to go to America to make their next movies .Most expectedly these movie will show how Munnabhai finds the loopholes there in America and makes fun of people who want to go abroad. Previously, Vidhu Vinod Chopra had planned a script in which he wanted Munna to meet U.S. president but after the release of My Name is Khan — he is planning to change the script.
