Rajkumar Hirani directed the very popular film ‘Munnabhai MBBS’, ‘Lage Raho Munnabhai’, and ‘3 Idiots’, which became the highest grossing film ever in India when it was released. Back in 2005, when Rajkumar Hirani was directing the movie Lage Raho Munnabhai there was a lot of scepticism on the sets.
In a scene, Munna and Circuit are shown drinking and Munna, in his rowdy manner, ask Bapu to leave them alone. Friends who dropped by on the sets were worried that Rajkumar Hirani had overstepped the boundaries of Indian sensibilities, especially when it comes to Mahatma Gandhi . But Hirani didn’t bother much about what people around him said. Rajkumar Hirani's last release, 3 Idiots, grossed in Rs. 339 crore worldwide. In many ways, after a successful run like that — and in a few cases, even without it — movie makers in tinsel town are known to veer towards cynicism or arrogance.
They become predictable and start taking things for granted. But Hirani has remained grounded in reality. Lage Raho Munnabhai was being screened at Cannes. The movie had already been released in India and had become a major blockbuster. The filmmaker plays down his success and believes that he has been fortunate, as his movies are both critically acclaimed and successful.
