“I didn’t even do 3 Idiots because I thought the audience would laugh at me turning 44 and playing the role of an 18-year-old boy. It would be strange. I told Raju to take three youths But he was after me. I hadn’t worked with Raju till then, but the story he brought to me made me wonder how I will play this young character.

Sharing why he finally decided to do the film, Aamir Khan explained that Rajkumar Hirani advised him to let success follow him, which was again the central message of 3 idiots. Aamir said Hirani reminded him of how he followed his passion and made the films which were declared flops by critics when announced but later achieved the desired success. Aamir added that he never signs a film until he is sure about it, except for 3 idiots, He was convinced by the director. In Aamir’s words:
“My motto in the film is: ‘Don’t chase success, be capable, success will follow you.’ That was Raju’s main thought behind the film. He told me, “You’ve made movies that could never have been a hit… all of those movies were flops when they were announced.” Do you make those movies? “You didn’t think you would succeed, so throughout your entire career you have believed it.” Then I thought Raju was a great director until I was sure, but that was the first time I was blindfolded because of him.
