In a massive wave of news that is sure to delight Bollywood enthusiasts worldwide, sources close to director Rajkumar Hirani have confirmed that the long-awaited script for the sequel to the 2009 blockbuster, 3 Idiots, has been officially locked. The film, tentatively titled 3 Idiots 2, is not just a reunion but a genuine continuation of the story, set to pick up nearly 15 years after the unforgettable climax scene in Leh.
The monumental news confirms the return of the core ensemble: Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, R. Madhavan, and Sharman Joshi.
The original film resonated deeply by questioning India’s education system. The sequel, according to insiders, will pivot to exploring the next phase of life: the complex realities of adulthood, career, family, and the sustainability of following one’s passion in a rapidly evolving world.
According to insiders, “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 feel the magic of the first film has returned, and it is as funny, as emotional, and as meaningful as the first part.”
This shift promises a mature yet humourous look at how Rancho’s ‘Excellence’ philosophy has withstood the test of time, mortgage payments, and the mid-life existential crisis.
The Original Cast Confirmed to Reprise Roles
The biggest challenge for any sequel is bringing back the beloved, perfect cast.
The immediate push for the sequel comes as Director Rajkumar Hirani and Aamir Khan have reportedly put their much-anticipated biopic on Dadasaheb Phalke on hold, citing dissatisfaction with the current script. Hirani, who has long toyed with the idea of a second 3 Idiots film, used this opportunity to fully dedicate time to expanding the sequel concept into a full-fledged, worthy screenplay.
The script reportedly carries the familiar warmth and emotional depth of the original, laced with fresh humour that reflects the characters’ grown-up, middle-aged journeys.
Production Timeline. While an official announcement from the makers is still awaited, reports suggest that the sequel is slated to go on floors in the second half of 2026. To know such latest updates, stay tuned to tellyboosters.com Thank you!
