Really! Is 3 Idiots sequel actually happening?
3 Idiots, the 2009 Bollywood movie directed by Rajkumar Hirani and starring Aamir Khan, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Kareena Kapoor, and Boman Irani, is widely regarded as one of the best Indian movies of all time. Its themes of friendship, education, and societal pressures resonated with audiences worldwide, making it a box office success and a cult classic.Given its popularity, it’s no surprise that fans have been clamoring for a sequel to 3 Idiots ever since its release. And while there have been rumors and speculation over the years, it wasn’t until recently that we got some concrete information about the possibility of a sequel.So, without further ado, let’s take a look at everything we know so far about the 3 Idiots sequel.
3 Idiots sequel Potential Plotlines:
The plot of 3 Idiots revolved around the lives of three engineering students – Rancho (Aamir Khan), Farhan (R. Madhavan), and Raju (Sharman Joshi) – and their struggles to navigate the education system and pursue their dreams. The movie ended with a heartwarming reunion between the friends, leaving fans wondering what happened to them next.
While there’s no official plotline for the sequel yet, Rajkumar Hirani has hinted at a potential direction for the story. In an interview, he said, “The story can be taken forward because these characters have grown up now. We can explore their lives and see where they are now, how they have evolved as people, and what new challenges they are facing.”
Some rumors suggest that the sequel will be set in a different location, possibly outside India, and will focus on the trio’s professional lives rather than their academic pursuits. However, these are just speculations at this point, and we’ll have to wait for an official announcement to know for sure.
Cast Rumors:
One of the biggest questions on fans’ minds is whether the original cast will return for the sequel. Aamir Khan, who played Rancho in the movie, has expressed his interest in reprising his role, saying that he would love to work with Rajkumar Hirani again.
Sharman Joshi, who played Raju, has also expressed his excitement at the prospect of a sequel, saying that he would be honored to be a part of it. However, R. Madhavan, who played Farhan, has been more hesitant, citing concerns over how the story will be handled.
As for Kareena Kapoor, who played Pia, Rancho’s love interest, her involvement in the sequel is uncertain. She was pregnant during the shooting of the original movie, and her character’s story was wrapped up neatly at the end, so it’s unclear how she would fit into the sequel.
