Sharman Joshi eagerly waiting to work on ‘3 Idiots’ sequel

Mumbai, May 17 (IANS) Actor Sharman Joshi, who is known for his comic timing, is eagerly waiting to work with Rajkumar Hirani yet again -- and more so in a sequel to "3 Idiots".

While there were reports that Hirani is planning to make a sequel to "3 Idiots", Sharman told IANS: "Yes, he (Hirani) did mention to me that he has an idea to make a sequel to '3 Idiots'. I am eagerly waiting for him to finish the script so that we can start working on it soon."

"3 Idiots" was one of the biggest money spinners at the Bollywood box office, and featured Aamir Khan, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Boman Irani and Omi Vaidya.

Sharman, who started his career as a theatre actor, says he is now taking out more time to be part of theatre.

"From an actor's perspective, it is really satisfying and I don't want to deprive myself anymore. I want to take out time for theatre. I feel Marathi and Gujarati theatre works differently, unlike Hindi. We are trying to get more entertaining plays where we can get more acceptance," the 37-year-old said.
