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.

He said that he planned to release the film on YouTube for those who can’t afford multiplexes.

Aamir Khan has found a new way to stay in the news. The actor has recently unveiled his T-shirt collection for a leading brand.

The range is inspired by the “3 Idiots look” and the movie’s actors, Madhavan and Sharman Joshi, including Aamir walked the ramp at a fashion show held recently.

While Aamir looked cool in black denim and a white tee with doodled smileys on it, Madhavan and Sharman wore tees which read All izzz well — a line taken from the movie’s song.

Aamir Khan, who has not had a formal college education in real life, finally had a taste of college life while shooting for his upcoming film ‘3 Idiots’.

3 Idiots is a celluloid adaptation of author Chetan Bhagat’s best selling fiction Five Point Someone. Directed by Raj Kumar Hirani, the movie 3 Idiots is a story of three friends whose dismal grade point averages at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) influenced their friendship, love life and career choices.

Aamir plays an IIT student in the film, which has been directed by Rajkumar Hirani of “Munnabhai” fame. The movie is slated to release on December 25

“I began working as an assistant very early in my life and did not get time to go to college. But, I have enjoyed the college life on screen,” Aamir told mediapersons at the preview of “All is Well” song from the film.

Talking about the song, Aamir said it is after their admission to an engineering college that the three protagonists prepare for the tough life ahead.

Aamir Khan, Madhavan and Sharman Joshi on Thursday unveiled the first look of their upcoming film 3 Idiots in Mumbai. Directed by Raj Kumar Hirani, the movie 3 Idiots is a story of three friends whose dismal grade point averages at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) influenced their friendship, love life and career choices.

Addressing the media while presenting the maiden look of their film, Aamir Khan said that film is inspired from individuals, who were considered to be idiots for working on certain causes, but finally made a mark changing a lot in society. “There are many people like this in history. When we see them initially, we feel amused, but later on we realize that they are doing the right thing. So, the tag line of the film is ”Don”t be stupid, be an idiot”.

Aamir Khan has cut short his holiday in France and flown down to Mumbai to shoot an important romantic song with Kareena Kapoor for director Rajkumar Hirani’s film 3 Idiots.

The song will be shot for over five days, starting from September 21.

Sources are said to believe that Aamir’s wife might be on the sets during the shoot of the song. Kiran would be back in Mumbai on Sept. 21 to be with Aamir on the sets. It is said that she is keen to watch the shooting of the romantic song because she closely wants to observe Aamir and Kareena. Perhaps Kiran has plans to make a romantic movie next.

Another theory says that Aamir has been raving to Kiran about Hirani’s style of working during his holiday with her. Now, she wants to see Hirani in action herself.

The song is so crucial to the film that Kareena had to cancel her birthday plan with Saif Ali Khan to give five days to Hirani for it. Other actors Sharman Joshi, Madhavan and Boman Irani too will be part of the song.

The movie as assumed by most is not exactly based on Chetan Bhagat’s best-seller ‘Five Point Someone’. Raju Hirani, the director who bowled with his Munnabhai series, stated that ‘Three Idiots’ is just an inspiration from the book and it is completely different. Only five percent of the book is the same. The director is of opinion that one can’t make a film out of a book, as both books and films are different.

“People should not go to the theatre thinking, we are going to watch ‘Five Point Someone’ and later find out that it’s a completely different film,” Hirani says.

Kareena Kapoor is not spending time with her family on September 21, her birthday, for she will be shooting for 3 Idiots with Aamir Khan.

Kareena Kapoor has decided to celebrate her birthday with Aamir Khan on September 29 instead of beau Saif Ali Khan. No, their relationship isn’t on the rocks but Kareena has decided to shoot for Raj Kumar Hirani’s 3 Idiots along with Aamir on her 29th birthday.
Kareena and Aamir will be shooting a dance sequence for the movie which is running behind schedule. The movie went behind schedule after Aamir’s wife Kiran suffered a miscarriage and Aamir wanted to spend time with her so that she could recuperate from the loss.

Big Pictures has bagged the distribution rights for Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s 3 Idiots. The motion pictures brand of Reliance Big Entertainment will now release 3 Idiots this Christmas.

The film is produced by Vinod Chopra and directed by Rajkumar Hirani of Munnabhai fame. It is based on Chetan Bhagat’s popular book, Five Point Someone. Thought the shooting for the film is complete, the unit is busy with post-production work. Besides Aamir Khan, the film also stars Kareena Kapoor, Sharman Joshi, Madhavan and Boman Irani.
