R Madhavan who played Farhan Qureshi explained why the idea sounds appealing but impractical at the same time. He said A sequel to 3 Idiots sounds great. But it also sounds far-fetched. All three of us Aamir Khan Sharman Joshi and I are much older now. Where do we go in the sequel? What are our lives like now? It is an interesting thought. But hardly conducive to a proper sequel. I would love to work with Raju Hirani again. But 3 Idiots again? I think that would be idiotic. Aamir Khan has also echoed similar sentiments in earlier conversations stressing that sequels should only be made when there is a strong story worth telling. Without that revisiting such an iconic film could dilute its impact.
