Mumbai, August 16: Chetan Bhagat, the inexhaustible author who gave us books like One Night At The Call Centre, Five Point Someone and the recent Three Mistakes of My Life, is ready to have his book “Five Point Someone” being converted into a film.
The film is directed by “Raj Kumar Hirani” and is at last set to hit the silver screen. The working title decided for the film is “3 Idiots”. After much assumption, Hirani has finally managed to get his cast together for the movie.
The film’s story is based on the prevalent education system in our country. Three Idiots is based in an engineering college. The film is scheduled to hit the floors in the last quarter of the year.
Hirani has signed the Mr. Perfectionist of Bollywood Aamir Khan, Sharman Joshi, R. Madhavan, Boman Irani and Kareena Kapoor for his film. It will be remembered that Hirani went through many holdups before he could finally sign on his current cast of actors. Initially Shah Rukh Khan was to do the role which has now gone to Aamir.
Due to certain problems, one of which was SRK wanting to produce the film as well, it didn’t work out. But now all rumours have been set to rest with the cast and the working title of the film being finalized.
The film will of course be produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, who has produced the earlier Munnabhai series directed by Hirani himself.
