Kareena Kapoor talks about ‘3 Idiot’ sequel

Looks like we finally have an update on the much-awaited 3 Idiots’ sequel! Recently, Kapoor posted a video on Instagram in which she shared her apprehensions about the sequel after coming across a viral picture of Aamir Khan, Sharman Joshi, and R Madhavan from a ‘press conference’.

Sharing the video, Kareena wrote, “I can’t believe this! How can they do this without me?" Further tagging Boman Irani, who essayed the notorious principal in the 2009 film, the Heroine actor added, "Boman Irani, have they kept this a secret from you also?”

In the video, Kareena is seen talking about the picture of the ‘3 Idiots’ seen in the background. The picture shows all three Aamir, Madhavan and Sharman in red t-shirts, sitting at a table with ‘Idiots’ written behind them.

In the video, Kapoor commented that while she was away on a holiday, the three seem to have confirmed a 3 Idiots sequel. She could be seen saying in the video, “I just got to know that when I was on holiday that these three were up to something. This press conference ka clip that is going around is from the secret that these three are keeping from us. Something is fishy and please don’t say this is Sharman ka some movie promotion."

She further added, "I think they are coming for a sequel. But only these three, without me? I don’t think even Boman knows about this. Calling Boman right now to check aakhir chal kya raha hai yaar (Calling Boman right now to check what is cooking?). This smells like a sequel for sure.”

Just like Kapoor, even her fans seemed surprised. A fan reacted, “Oh my god!” Another wrote, “Oh my good lord. What news.” One more said, “Not without you, definitely not.” “A sequel without you—absolutely impossible!” said another. A comment also read, “Oh my God, please let it be a great sequel.”

Released in 2009, the film has a cult following of its own and an entire generation of youngsters growing up with it. 3 Idiots remains one of the most popular films even in its many TV re-runs.

In 2018, filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani had confirmed a sequel. Hirani was asked a question while promoting his upcoming film Sanju. “I definitely want to make a sequel to 3 Idiots. In fact, Abhijat [Joshi, writer] and I started writing something a few days ago. But it’s still in the initial stage and we will take a fair amount of time to develop the script,” he was quoted as saying.
