Gemini Films Circuit has got the remake rights of Aamir Khan's latest blockbuster 3 Idiots. It plans to remake the Rajkumar Hirani film in Telugu and Tamil with separate star cast and technical crew.The Aamir Khan film raised a controversy with novelist Chetan Bhagat claiming that the film is a straight copy from his popular novel Five Point Someone. Pproducer Vidhu Vinod Chopra vehemently denied the charge and misbehaved with scribes who raised the issue.
The film is about three classmates of an engineering college. The pranks they play and the incidents of the novel are literally plagiarized, alleges Bhagat.Actor Madhavan agrees to do his role again if remade in Tamil. Suriya is also keen to take Aamir’s role if remade.However, if remade into Telugu, the film will surely set box-office records. Producer Dhananjayan doubts whether the film will do well in the South.
