Rajkumar Hirani on ‘3 Idiots’ sequel<\/p>\n

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Rajkumar gave an update on the sequel and said it will not be about college at all. “I’m still working on that script. There is a lot of work left. It’s primarily about what happens to these characters 15-20 years later. It’s not about college or anything. They are married and have children now. They are experiencing mid-life crisis, and so we will have to see, now what next?” he said.

A big one!”.<\/p>\n
