Raju Hirani’s cult classic 3 Idiots starring Aamir Khan , Madhavan, Bomman Irani, Kareena Kapoor is now going to be remade in Tamil and Telugu by Gemini Film Circuit.
South Indian cinema’s ‘numero uno’ director Shankar will be remaking the film as a bilingual.
Shankar’s publicist Nikil Murugan has tweeted that Vijay, Simbu, Madhavan along with Sathyaraj playing the role made memorable by Bomman Irani will be there in the Tamil version, while the only change in the Telugu version will be Mahesh Babu coming in the place of Vijay.
3 Idiots had raked in Rs 240 crore from box office collection in its first 10 days of screening and is estimated to have done record business of Rs 400 crore worldwide. Made on a budget of Rs 45 crore, the returns broke all records.
Last Sunday 3 Idiots created television history, when Sony Entertainment channel, sold airtime at rates hovering around Rs 2.20 lakh for 10 seconds, the highest for a film on Indian TV!
Shankar and the production house feels more than being a multi starrer what will work for the film is its “story which has pure Indian sentiments and the message about our educational system. Education is one of south India’s biggest industries and Shankar will make necessary changes and package it to suit the taste of the local audiences.” .
