Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani’s 3 Idiots is one of the iconic films in Indian cinema. At the time of its release, the college drama ended up being an industry hit in Bollywood. Now according to a report in Pink Villa, 3 Idiots is set to return with a sequel that will bring back its iconic cast.
It is said that 3 Idiots’ sequel marks the reunion of Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, R. Madhavan and Sharman Joshi, and will be directed by Rajkumar Hirani, with Vidhu Vinod Chopra backing the project alongside Hirani and Aamir Khan.
The report mentioned, “The script has been locked, and the team is extremely excited for it. They feel the magic of the first film has returned, and is as funny, as emotional, and as meaningful as the first part. The story will be a continuation, picking up nearly 15 years after the characters went their separate ways in the climax scene and reunite for a new adventure.”
It is said that Rajkumar revisited 3 Idiots’ sequel idea only recently after his Dadasaheb Phalke biopic went on hold. The report also stated, “He dedicated time to expand the 3 Idiots sequel into a full-fledged screenplay. Hirani always had a seed of an idea for 3 Idiots 2, but he wanted it to be perfect and something that would stand up to the legacy of the original.”
