Rajkumar Hirani’s blockbuster film 3 Idiots, starring Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, R Madhavan and Sharman Joshi, released in theatres in 2009. While the film was released 15 years ago, it remains memorable
and relevant even today. Now, fans of the movie are excited as there are reports that the film will be returning with a sequel soon. Sharman Joshi recently broke his silence on the matter.
Sharman Joshi said, as quoted by Hindustan Times, “I so hope that happens, but I have not been informed yet.” He added, “On more than a couple of occasions, there has been buzz that the 3 Idiots Sequel is happening. The last time the reports came, it turned out to be for an ad campaign. Let’s see, hopefully this time it’s true.”
Will the story be a continuation of the last saga? Sharman Joshi said, “I am in no position to know, but only the master, Raju sir, Abhijat (Joshi, writer) sir and Aamir would be working on it if there is potential.”
Recalling how he came to be a part of the first film, Sharman Joshi said, “I was in the gym, building six-pack abs when I got the final call from Raju sir. He told me ab 3 saal tak tu gym ki shakal nahi dekhega.” He added, “I think of 3 Idiots, and a smile comes on my face. That film felt like a fairytale, from the time I heard the story till today.”
The actor mentioned, “Style led me to 3 Idiots. Raju sir had seen me in the film and thought that someday he’d cast me in some movie. When we started shooting for 3 Idiots, he mentioned that to me.”
Meanwhile, as per a report in Pinkvilla, Rajkumar Hirani has locked the scripts of 3 Idiots 2, and the film is set to go on floors in 2026. The sequel will bring back its iconic cast, including Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, R. Madhavan and Sharman Joshi. While Rajkumar Hirani had been toying with the idea of a sequel to 3 Idiots for a long time, he decided to revisit the idea only recently after his Dadasaheb Phalke biopic went on hold, as per the report.
