Addressing the audience about his long film journey and future projects, Aamir did not dodge questions surrounding the anticipated 3 Idiots follow-up.

“Well, I'm not allowed to say a lot. I think I can say this much, and yes, Raju is working on the script. In fact, hopefully once I'm back in the next couple of weeks, he's going to narrate the final version to me. So, fingers crossed,” Aamir said during the session.

Elaborating on the narrative direction, Hirani had previously shared that the sequel moves past the college era to explore the trio's lives 15 to 20 years down the line, dealing with marriage, children, and mid-life crises.
