It would be a homecoming for super-hit film 3 Idiots, with the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, arranging five shows at its campus auditorium.

The film depicts life in an elite engineering institute and though there is no explicit reference to IITs, Five Point Someone, the novel written by Chetan Bhagat on which the film is based, talks about life on an IIT campus.

IIT Kharagpur auditorium has only 900 seats but in total 9000 students are studying there. Apart from that there are 1200 staffs and 550 faculties’ members. All of them want to watch the film with their co-mates and friends. So, it is difficult to accommodate all at of them at same time in auditorium. That’s why the IIT Kharagpur has arranged five shows of ‘3 Idiots’ at different show timings.

Students of IIT Kharagpur demand the institute to screen 3 Idiots at their college. On demand of students the institute approached the distributor of the film in Kolkata, Mr.Kapurchand. The distributors also agreed the demand of the IIT Kharagpur institute and they generously pull out the film from the city hall for one week. One week time is more than enough for the institute to hold and screen the shows.

The versatile actor is also currently helping his wife Kiran in her directorial venture Dhobi Ghaat which will be delayed by a few months after her miscarriage.

Aamir Khan beat Deepika Padukone and dad Prakash Padukone in a friendly badminton match..

On Sunday evening, Deepika Padukone and dad Pakash Padukone played a doubles badminton match against Aamir Khan and Aparna Popat, at the annual tournament for the Padukone Academy run by the one-time badminton champion.

Even though the actress lost the match against Aamir, Deepika believes it’s the sportsmanship that won at the end of the day. In her words, “I  know that Aamir plays badminton at the Khar gym. He’s extremely fit and a great player. It was an incredible experience to play opposite him.”

Deepika who’s extremely passionate about badminton adds that she always enjoys pairing with dad on the court, “Even after so many years dad is such a driving force and an inspiration for badminton enthusiasts.

Playing a doubles match, Aamir along with his partner beat the champs at their own game.

Like any other normal guy, Aamir is a sports freak himself, be it chess, table tennis, tennis, cricket or badminton.

It is a new found interest that the ‘Ghajini’ hero has found in the sport.

So taken in by the game, the actor influenced the entire team of ‘3 Idiots’ to play badminton during the breaks. He compares the sport with the dance form ‘ballet’ as he beleives that it requires a lot of control, strength, mind play and mesaured movements.

Aamir and Kareena spotted together as they were shopping at Connaught Place, Delhi. As stated they were shopping for a scene from their upcoming film “3 Idiots”.
Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor are on a shopping spree together. In true sense they are not shopping anything but shooting a scene, they were spotted at the Connaught Place shown marketing for a scene for Raju Hirani’s ‘3 Idiots’,

It’s obvious that when two famous celebrities like Kareena and Aamir are out in the public place there would be immense gathering. It was already so late and when Bebo found that the area was jam-packed, she was bit angry.

“3 Idiots” is directed by Rajkumar Hirani and apart from Aamir and Kareena Sharman Joshi and Madhavan are the other stars in the film. Aamir and Kareena are acting together for the first time.

There’s something about the alphabet ‘T’ which may be attracting R. Madhavan to sign films if their titles begin with a ‘T’.

After ‘13B’ (or Thirteen B), he has at least three more films, titles of which start with the letter ‘T’. He is acting in Rajkumar Hirani’s ‘Three Idiots’ and Leena Yadav’s ‘Teen Patti’. There’s also Anand Rai’s ‘Tanu Weds Manu’.

Madhavan is surely playing Manu while there was a tough hunt to rope in cute lass to play the lead opposite him.  Wanna know who is it? As per sources the search ends with Konkona Sen Sharma!

While “Three Idiots” and “Teen Patti” would release by the end of 2009, Madhavan has a yet-to-be-titled project being directed by Navdeep Singh of “Manorama Six Feet Under” fame apart from ‘Tanu Weds Manu’.

Raj Kumar Hirani’s 3 Idiots has brought three good friends together once again after Rang De Basanti. Aamir Khan, R Madhavan and Sharman Joshi had a great time shooting for 3 Idiots. Madhavan, who is currently shooting in Delhi had very few scenes in RDB. But the length of his role in 3 Idiots is the last thing on his mind.

Completely impressed by director Rajkumar Hirani, Madhavan already has a feeling that 3 Idiots will be one of his remarkable films. When asked if he fears being outshined by Aamir he quickly replied, “Aamir is fantastic to work with. He is a talented actor. I don’t worry about those issues.” Madhavan informs that he has worked with Aamir earlier and loves his style of working. “He is my role model.” He signs off.

Rahul Kumar in Aamir Khan’s next in Three Idiots directed by Munnabhai fame director Raju Hirani based on Chetan Bhagat’s famous novel ‘Five Point Someone’.
After Darsheel Safary its Rahul’s turn a class 8th, 14 yr old student who already worked in Vishal Bharadwaj’s OMKARA and THE BLUE UMBRELLA has been offered this flick.

Aamir, Sharman Joshi and R. Madhavan are the leads and Kareena plays opposite Aamir. The movie is all set to release in Dec. this year.

Aamir Khan is hoping that his next movie 3 Idiots makes a bigger wave than his stupendously successful pic, Ghajini.

Talking about his much-awaited flick, which is based on Chetan Bhagat’s novel ‘ Five Point Someone’, the actor says, “Success is not in my hands. I can only follow my heart and work with all the sincerity and hard work that I always do. I would be happy if my next film 3 Idiots breaks all Ghajini records.”

Latest Buzz about the movie 3 Idiots is that Kajol is doing a cameo in this film. She starred along with Aamir Khan last in ‘Fanaa’. And with this cameo, once again we can see them co-star. At present, she is shooting for Karan Johar’s ‘My Name is Khan’ opposite Shah Rukh Khan.

Chetan Bhagat’s novel ‘Five Point Someone’ is a story of three students studying in IIT institute and the problems they face while studying there. It will have warm, highly emotional scenes with a dose of some message that is a hallmark of a Rajkumar Hirani film.

This is supposed to be a lucky omen for the movie because Aamir Khan’s Taare Zameen Par and Ghajini were also released on December 25, 2007 and December 25, 2008, respectively.

3 Idiots, produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, stars R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Boman Irani, Kareena Kapoor, and Mona Singh.

The 20-day first schedule of 3 Idiots was completed in Ladakh and Shimla, and the second schedule has commenced in Bangalore, in the first week of January 2009.
