After its blockbuster success in India, the Aamir Khan starrer 3 Idiots is all set to get a Hollywood remake. “We are in talks with three studios in Hollywood and one company in Italy for the remake of 3 Idiots,” said director Vidhu Vinod Chopra at the ongoing International film festival of India (IFFI).
The film, which released in India in December 2009, is all set to explore other markets. It is releasing in Mainland China with a whopping 900 prints next week.
“It’s a first for any Hindi film to release with so many prints in China. It is also being adapted into a stage musical in Taiwan. The film has already made about USD 3 million dollars in Hong Kong,” said Vidhu. 3 Idiots is also getting a Chinese remake by Kung Fu Hustle, Stephen Chow. “My films are made with universal values, so they connect with audiences all over the world,” said Vidhu.
