Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots Sequel Confirmed

Speaking to Amar Ujala, Aamir couldn’t hide his excitement. He said the sequel’s story is “beautiful,” and praised both Abhijat Joshi (the screenwriter) and Hirani for how well they conceptualized it. He spilled a few details too, saying, “Raju’s working on 3 Idiots 2 right now. I’ve heard the story and it’s wonderful. The script still needs some tweaks, but the core idea is really good, it’s unusual, and it has the same humour as the first one. It picks up where the characters are ten years later.”

Aamir seems genuinely thrilled about returning as Phunsukh Wangdu. He said, “It’s a beautiful story conceived by Raju and Abhijat. I’m really looking forward to it, and to playing Phunsukh Wangdu again.” He’s coming off his recent appearance in Sitaare Zameen Par, after Laal Singh Chaddha didn’t do so well in 2022, so fans are definitely ready for his comeback.

When will 3 Idiots 2 release?

Aamir Khan might have shared that he is working on the sequel to 3 Idiots, but there has been no mention of the release date. For the unversed, the first part was released in 2009 and broke multiple box office records at the time.

3 Idiots was the first Indian film to have grossed a worldwide collection of ₹400 crore, and became a yardstick for overseas box office success. It was the highest-grossing film in India for a long time. In recent years, it has also become a cult hit, owing to its re-runs on television and streaming services. The film was produced by Vinod Chopra Films, and was honoured with 3 National Awards.
