Aamir Khan Returns: Sequel to ₹400 Cr Film Confirmed ..
The sequel — 3 idiots 2 — has been officially green-lit. The script is reportedly locked, and the original cast will reunite: aamir khan, kareena kapoor Khan, R. Madhavan, and sharman joshi are all expected to return.
The film will be directed again by rajkumar hirani — the original director — with backing from producers including Vidhu Vinod Chopra.
Reports reveal that shooting for 3 idiots 2 is expected to start in the second half of 2026.
The creators say the sequel will pick up roughly 15 years after the climax of the first film — echoing real-time passed since the original’s release — promising viewers a fresh adventure with the characters now older and matured.
The team behind the film says they want to recreate the “magic” of the first 3 idiots — combining humour, emotional depth, and a strong message — but with a new storyline reflecting the characters’ grown-up lives.
It will continue the journey of the beloved characters — Rancho, Farhan, Raju, and Pia — now reunited for a new “adventure.”
Alongside the 3 idiots sequel, aamir khan remains active behind the scenes. He’s producing Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos — a spy-comedy film directed by comedian-turned-filmmaker Vir Das.
He’s also in talks with popular South-Indian director lokesh kanagaraj for a potential hindi film — discussions are ongoing, and the project hasn’t been shelved.
Earlier, Aamir — along with rajkumar hirani — was planning a biopic on legendary filmmaker Dadasaheb Phalke, but that project is now reportedly on hold to prioritise 3 idiots 2.
The original 3 idiots (released in 2009) was a massive blockbuster — made on a modest budget, but went on to gross over ₹400 crore worldwide.It struck a chord with audiences for its sharp satire of the education system, comedy, and strongemotion.
Given its iconic status and fanfare even 15 years later, the sequel’s announcement — with the original team reuniting — has triggered massive excitement in bollywood and among fans alike.
