Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 19 (ANI): Actors Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi and Boman Irani-starrer comedy-drama film ‘Munna Bhai MBBS’ clocked 20 years on Tuesday.

To mark the occasion, actor Boman Irani took to his Instagram account and shared a special video that featured a few glimpses of Boman’s character in the film.

He captioned the video, “Munna bhai will always be my breakthrough film. If we are still speaking of it with so much love I can safely say it will be remembered for another 20. What’s the reason? While the film is a comedy. That maybe. But the staying power is the fact that it is ALL HEART. It gave millions a reason to be nicer and kinder and a little more understanding of other people. Heart. Heart. Heart. As long as it beats with kindness. There is always hope. Love you all for the never ending love and support for all these years.”
