Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor and other cast members of 3 Idiots are reuniting for a highly-anticipated sequel to the 2009 blockbuster.
Indian media reports claimed that 3 Idiots 2 has locked its script with the iconic quartet of Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Madhavan and Sharman Joshi, all reprising their roles.
“The script has been locked, and the team is extremely excited for it. They feel the magic of the first film has returned, and it is as funny, as emotional, and as meaningful as the first part,” an insider was quoted as saying.
“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,” they added.
The development comes after Rajkumar Hirani, who directed the 2009 blockbuster, and Aamir Khan reportedly paused working on their much-anticipated biopic on Dadasaheb Phalke because they were not fully satisfied with the script.
“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,” the source was quoted as saying.
Rajkumar Hirani will direct the film once again with Vidhu Vinod Chopra backing the project.
