Is '3 Idiots' sequel happening? Kareena's Instagram video sparks speculations
What's the story
Is it that time to say "All Izz Well" again? Rajkumar Hirani's critically acclaimed and commercially successful 3 Idiots (2009) almost led to a paradigm shift in the Indian conscience and conversations around the immensely suffocating pressure on students in engineering colleges began to take center stage. Now, its lead female actor Kareena Kapoor Khan's latest Instagram video has pointed toward a sequel!
Context
Why does this story matter?
3 Idiots was based on author Chetan Bhagat's bestselling novel Five Point Someone (2004) and was fronted by Aamir Khan, Sharman Joshi, and R Madhavan, while Boman Irani, Omi Vaidya, and Mona Singh were seen in pivotal roles. Considered one of the finest films of the generation, it reportedly garnered $90M globally and is also the recipient of three National Film Awards.

This is the video that birthed speculations
Kapoor Khan took to her Instagram account on Friday and uploaded a video where she could be seen wondering why Joshi, Madhavan, and Khan were seemingly seen together at a press conference. She further picks up her phone to call Irani and check if he's aware of any development. However, such videos are often marketing gimmicks, and if that happens, several hearts will break.
