Aamir Khan's '3 Idiots' to release on Christmas day
MUMBAI (Reuters) - Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan will next be seen in the celluloid adaptation of author Chetan Bhagat’s best selling fiction 'Five Point Someone'.
Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, '3 Idiots' is derived from Bhagat's story of three friends whose dismal grade point averages at the Indian Institute of Technology influence their friendship, love life and career choices.
The film, set for release on December 25, has brought Khan and producer-director Vidhu Vinod Chopra together for the first time.
"I was really apprehensive of working with Mr Chopra,” Khan said in Mumbai on Friday.
"Now that I have got to know him during the making of this film, I realise that those apprehensions were unfounded,” he said.
The film also stars Kareena Kapoor, Sharman Joshi and southern star R. Madhavan.
