Quick Read
Speculation around a sequel to the 2009 blockbuster 3 Idiots has been doing the rounds recently, but actors Aamir Khan and R. Madhavan have now put the rumours to rest. Both stars have clarified that they have not been approached for a sequel and believe the idea currently sounds far-fetched.
R. Madhavan addressed the chatter by calling the idea of a follow-up an interesting thought, but questioned how a sequel would realistically work after so many years. He pointed out that he, Aamir Khan and co-star Sharman Joshi are much older now, making it difficult to continue the story in a way that feels organic. According to Madhavan, while the film remains close to their hearts, revisiting it without a strong narrative would not make sense. He added that although he would love to collaborate again with director Rajkumar Hirani, attempting a 3 Idiots sequel purely for nostalgia would be ill-advised.
