Vicky Kaushal to Star in 3 Idiots Sequel?

‘3 idiots’ is one of Bollywood’s most iconic films of all time. And, according to the latest reports, it is rumoured that Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal, who was last seen in the 2025 film Chhaava, based on the life of Sambhaji, the second ruler of the Maratha Empire, will now be joining the sequel of 3 idiots. The report suggests that the makers are now planning to bring in a fourth idiot into the story. And the actor being considered for the role is, Vicky Kaushal.

As per Pinkvilla, Vicky Kaushal will star as the fourth “idiot,” as the film’s story will take a 10-year leap. “Kaushal is keen on sharing screen space with Aamir Khan and contributing to a franchise that enjoys immense recall value,” a source shared, adding, “Multiple meetings between Vicky, Aamir, and Hirani have already taken place, and Vicky has verbally agreed to play the part of the fourth ‘idiot,’ though the timelines have to align for the entire ensemble.”

However, the report also stated that Vicky Kaushal will begin shooting for the 3 Idiots sequel only after wrapping up his commitments for Mahavatar, which will require him to shoot extensively.

Meanwhile, speaking to Amar Ujala, the Bollywood actor Aamir Khan opened up about the details of the sequel. The actor revealed that he has heard the story and that 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.”

Additionally, Aamir Khan also 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.”
