Aamir Khan confirms ‘3 Idiots’ sequel is set 10 years on from original
Aamir Khan has spoken about the long‑anticipated sequel to ‘3 Idiots’, confirming that the story will pick up a decade after the events of the original film.
With Rajkumar Hirani placing the Dadasaheb Phalke biopic on hold, the director has now turned his attention to developing the sequel to ‘3 Idiots’, in which Aamir Khan will once again feature.
Speaking to Amar Ujala, Khan revealed that he has already heard the story outline and expressed enthusiasm for what is being planned. He said, “Raju is working on 3 Idiots 2 right now. I’ve heard the story and it’s wonderful.” He added, “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.”

Khan also addressed the status of the Dadasaheb Phalke biopic, confirming that the project has been paused for the time being. He explained that Hirani was not fully satisfied with the drafts developed so far. “The story of Dadasaheb Phalke is a very inspirational one, and Raju was working on it. He made three drafts, but he is still not happy with the script. So, it has been put on the back burner for now. Maybe they will revisit it later.”
