The director who swayed the nation with his National Award winning film “Lage Raho Munna Bhai’ - Rajkumar Hirani, is coming up with yet another intriguing film "3 Idiots" ... an adaptation of Chetan Bhagat's best seller Five Point Someone, 3 Idiots is the story of 3 friends, whose GPAs at the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) affect their whole lives including their friendships, live lives and career choices.
This year's most anticipated movie 3 Idiots is the story of three free- spirited slackers who get admission into an IIT but cannot cope with the academic rigour.
Yet, all izz well in the world of slackers. As the anthem from 3 Idiots goes: Confusion hi confusion hai , solution kuch pata nahin . Solution jo mila toh saala, question kya tha pata nahin ¦ Honth ghuma, seeti baja ke bol, all izz well. All slacker stories end with the slacker finding success in his own way and this is a message that has found resonance with the younger generation.

The director who created a new wave "Gandhigiri" and swayed the nation with his National Award winning film "Lage Raho Munna Bhai" --- Rajkumar Hirani, is coming up with yet another intriguing film “3 Idiots’ that stars the perfectionist Aamir Khan and sultry Kareena Kapoor.
The versatile director Rajkumar Hirani started his career as an editor with the film “Mission Kashmir’ but rose to fame with the rib-tickling “Munna Bhai’ series and now he is one of the most sought after directors in Bollywood.
His latest flick “3 Idiots’ is constantly in buzz and the songs are already a hit among the audience, in a conversation, Rajkumar Hirani speaks at length on behind the scene gossips and the making of “3 Idiots’…
The buzz around "3 idiots" is amazing; it seems you have hit the bull’s eye before the release of the film.
No, no…it’s not like that; the initial buzz does not decide the fate of the film at the box-office. I think it’s all up to the film and how it has shaped up. For me, I think content is the king, which will eventually help you to get through any market.
It’s said that "3 idiots" is inspired by Chetan Bhagat’s novel "Five Point Someone", how tough has it been to give a cinematic vision to a writer’s book? Have you taken everything from the novel or just the plot of the story?
Yes, it’s inspired but it is not a copy of the novel. I think, print and cinema are two different mediums and they cannot be compared. The canvas of both the mediums is totally different, but yes the characters are driven from the book that’s it. However, when you see the film you will realize the difference.
What is "Idiots" all about?
"3 idiots" is the story of the three IIT (Indian Institutes of Technology) engineering students who are friends and in the middle of the story one goes missing. Beyond this I don’t want to give out anything from the story. For that you have to go and watch the film in the theaters on 25th December. So, wait and watch!
Share some memorable moments you had while shooting for “3 Idiots’.
(Pauses) Memories… we had a great time shooting at the IIT campus, where all my actor turned students blended with the IIT students like they are one of them and also played Badminton with them, it was fun.
The other one was at Ladakh where we had a tough time shooting, as it was freezing cold and it made shooting more difficult for us. In fact, we have to wait for one year so that conditions become suitable for shoot, but overall we enjoyed shooting there.
