Aamir Khan, who played the lead role in the 2009 film, had reportedly said he would want a sequel to the film. Even director Rajkumar Hirani expressed interest in the same.

Asked about this, Boman, who played the role of strict college dean Viru Sahastrabuddhe in 3 Idiots, said while it may be a great franchise, he hasn’t heard any talks for the sequel.

“Yes, everything is a great franchise but I’ve no idea about this talk, never heard it myself. I am hearing it for the first time. Right now, Raju is working on another film. So no, nothing like that as of now,” he told PTI.

Hirani is currently in the pre-production stage of a biopic on Sanjay Dutt, which stars actor Ranbir Kapoor.
