After putting the Dadasaheb Phalke biopic on hold, Rajkumar Hirani is working on the 3 Idiots sequel, and Aamir Khan will be a part of it. Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, the film won hearts for its enticing storyline, concept of friendship, and pursuing dreams. Now, Aamir has confirmed the second installment, revealing that the story will follow Rancho, Farhan, and Raju a decade later.

While speaking to Amar Ujala, Aamir Khan shared details about the sequel. He revealed that he has heard the story and it's "wonderful." The actor said, "Raju is working on 3 Idiots 2 right now. I've heard the story and it's wonderful." Aamir further 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."

Aamir expressed his excitement about playing Phunsukh Wangdu again. He said, "It's a beautiful story conceived by Raju and Abhijat. I'm looking forward to it, and to playing Phunsukh Wangdu again."

The actor also opened up about the Dadasaheb Phalke biopic with Hirani and said it has been put on the back burner, and the director was not happy with the script. "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."

Amid this, Mid-Day also reported that the actor is also rumoured to be playing Ashneer Grover in his biopic. The film will reportedly also feature Shraddha Kapoor as the female lead, and will be helmed by her beau, Rahul Mody. However, he is yet to confirm the project.

After the debacle of Laal Singh Chaddha, Aamir has shifted attention to production and is currently promoting Ek Din. The film stars his son Junaid Khan and marks the Bollywood debut of Sai Pallavi. The actor is also backing Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta's Batwara 1947, which will be helmed by Rajkumar Santoshi.
