Is Shankar’s ‘3 Idiots’ a quickie?

We all know Shankar, who is known for perfection, would take at least two years to complete a project. However, his forthcoming film, which is a remake of Bollywood’s ‘3 Idiots’, is expected to be a quickie.


“Shankar wants to complete the film in less than six months time. So, in all probability, you can expect the Tamil and Telugu versions of 3 Idiots for summer 2011”, say sources. While Vijay would play the lead role in the Tamil version, Mahesh Babu would replace him in the Telugu version. Ileana is the heroine in both the languages while a search is on for the remaining two protagonists roles.


Sathyaraj will play a crucial role. Harris Jayaraj will score music to the lyrics of Vairamuthu and Gautam Vasudev Menon’s lucky mascot Manoj Paramahamsa has been signed to handle the cinematography.
