A 3 Idiots sequel? It could happen

A 3 Idiots sequel? It could happen

But fans shouldn't hold their breath, says Aamir Khan
26 Jan, 2016

Did you love the 3 Idiots trio? There's more where that came from.

At the 10-year celebration of Rang De Basanti in Mumbai, Aamir Khan hinted that a sequel to the Rajkumar Hirani-directed film may be in the works.

3 Idiots (2009) saw Aamir Khan, R Madhavan and Sharman Joshi as three friends who navigate through various personal trials in the course of getting their college engineering degree. 3 Idiots was the trio's second film together after Rang De Basanti, and there's scope for a third, according to Aamir Khan.

"I hope to make a hattrick of films with Madhavan and Sharman after RDB and 3 Idiots. Raju Hirani has told me that he has an idea for 3 idiots sequel. So let's hope for the best," PinkVilla quoted him as saying.

The original comedy-drama film was loosely based on Chetan Bhagat's novel Five Point Someone, so it remains to be seen whether the sequel will have an original screenplay.

According to Aamir, “Raju (Rajkumar Hirani) sometime ago mentioned that he has found a story for 3 Idiots (sequel), so maybe we will reunite soon."

"Don’t make it as a breaking news,” he also cautioned, reported Indian Express.

Director Hirani has also previously said that the sequel "will take some time".

@a No, it's a sequel. So most likely they will show what happens later on. In fact, they had already passed out of college in the first movie itself.

Maybe it's the life after they find Aamir Khan. It's the funny incidents in the life of Raju, Farhan and Phunsukh Wangdu.

@a If he plays a college boy role at the age of 47 so why can't now?

Dil chahta hain, 3 idiots, Manorama 7 feet under, Khosla ka ghosla, Rock on, Do Dooni Chaar, A Wednesday etc. were just a few of the really good Bollywood films from the last decade. Lots of people here equate Bollywood with sleazy songs, copying etc, but conveniently forget the other half of films that come out. The above are just a few examples of wholesome movies - many of my Iranian friends in America just loved those movie suggestions.
