Speaking in a recent interview, Aamir shared that he has already heard the story and described it as “wonderful” and “unusual,” while retaining the same humour and emotional depth that made the first film so iconic. He added that the screenplay is still being refined, but the core concept stands strong. The sequel will pick up nearly a decade later, exploring how the lives of Rancho, Farhan, and Raju have evolved since their college days.
“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 actor said while speaking to Amar Ujala.
Aamir also expressed enthusiasm about stepping back into the role of Phunsukh Wangdu, a character that left a lasting impact on audiences.
