Aamir Khan has officially confirmed that a sequel to the iconic movie 3 Idiots is currently in development.

The actor confirmed this news during a detailed interview with the media outlet known as Amar Ujala recently.

Fans have been speculating about this highly anticipated cinematic follow-up for a very long period of time now.

This new project will see the celebrated filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani returning to the director’s chair.

The star confirmed the exciting news regarding the project by specifically and clearly stating to the media outlet:

Raju is working on 3 Idiots 2 right now. I’ve heard the story and it’s wonderful.

“The script still needs some work, but the story itself is really good — unusual, with the same humour as the first film.

“It follows the characters from 3 Idiots, picking up 10 years later.”

The story is expected to progress the lives of the characters exactly one decade after the original events ended.

This upcoming sequel plans to reunite the original lead cast members, including R Madhavan and the actor Sharman Joshi.
