5 Bollywood Film Sequels That Never Got Released

Apart from the hundreds of films that release every year in Bollywood, the number of films that do not get released or are shelved after their announcement is much larger. Be it Amitabh Bachchan or Shah Rukh Khan every big and small Bollywood star has been a part of a film that never got released or was shelved after its ambitious announcement. What we mean to say is that while we get excited after the announcement of every big Bollywood project, there is always a risk that the film in making might get struck last minute and never hit the silver screen.

Take for example these sequels to popular Bollywood films that never got made after their announcement or if they even went on floors they were never completed. Even their popular predecessors couldn’t help the making of the films and they were shelved.

Munna Bhai Chale America – After the super hit Munna Bhai M.B.B.S and Lage Raho Munna Bhai, Rajkumar Hiarni proudly announced a third film to the franchise in 2010 and that was Munna Bhai Chale America. While we saw Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi in an interesting poster for the film, the project got shelved after Sanjay Dutt had to surrender in 2013.
