Aamir on 3 Idiots sequel
The sequel is expected to take the story forward 10 years after the events of the first film. The film is expected to bring back Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, R. Madhavan, and Sharman Joshi, with Rajkumar Hirani returning to the director’s chair and Vidhu Vinod Chopra producing.
In an interview with Amar Ujala, Aamir confirmed that he is working on the sequel, describing it as a beautiful story. He added that he believes Abhijat Joshi (screenwriter) and Rajkumar Hirani had written and conceived it very well. He also shared details about the sequel.
Aamir said, “Raju is working on 3 Idiots 2 right now. I’ve heard the story and it’s wonderful. The script still needs some work, but the story itself is really good — unusual, with the same humour as the first film. It follows the characters from 3 Idiots, picking up 10 years later."
Aamir shared his excitement about stepping back into the role of Phunsukh Wangdu once again in the sequel. “It’s a beautiful story conceived by Raju and Abhijat. I’m looking forward to it, and to playing Phunsukh Wangdu again,” said the actor, who made his comeback to the big screen with Sitaare Zameen Par after the failure of Laal Singh Chaddha in 2022.
