When asked about plans of a "3 Idiots" sequel in an interview with "Hindustan Times", screenwriter Abhijat Joshi replied, saying, "Honestly, I don't know. We have an idea for the 3 Idiots sequel, a "Munna Bhai" part three, and also for a "PK" sequel; but the "PK" and "Munna Bhai" sequels interest me the most. So, I think the "3 Idiots" sequel may happen in the future, but these two I really want to work on." In January 2016, director Rajkumar Hirani and actor Aamir Khan confirmed that they were considering a "3 Idiots" sequel. Khan told reporters, ""Raju Hirani has given me a hint about "3 Idiots" sequel and I am giving you all a hint. The film will happen if and whenever he will write the script." Hirani agreed, saying "this is one film that I really want to do."
