Vicky Kaushal has found himself at the center of a fresh online debate after reports suggested he may join the sequel to 3 Idiots. The buzz around the actor playing a key role in the upcoming film has not gone down well with a section of netizens. Many users have openly questioned his career choices, with some even opposing the idea of a sequel altogether.
According to reports, Vicky Kaushal is being considered for an important role in the film, tentatively titled 4 Idiots. The project is expected to bring back the original trio – (Aamir Khan, R Madhavan and Sharman Joshi) while introducing a new character as the ‘fourth idiot’. Sources say Vicky has shown interest in the role, and discussions are already underway.
Vicky Kaushal In Talks For ‘4 Idiots’
The sequel is being directed by Rajkumar Hirani, who is currently working on the script with his long-time collaborator Abhijat Joshi. The film is still in the writing stage, with the team aiming to match the legacy of the original. If all goes as planned, production may begin in the second half of 2027, with a storyline set nearly a decade after the events of 3 Idiots.
Vicky Kaushal, who has earlier worked with Hirani on Sanju and Dunki, is said to have liked the script. His role is expected to add a fresh emotional layer to the story while blending with the journey of the original characters.
A source quoted by Pinkvilla said, “Multiple meetings between Vicky, Aamir and Hirani have already taken place, and Vicky has verbally agreed to play the part of 4th Idiot, though the timelines have to align for the entire ensemble.”

DON'T MISS
A Reddit user said, “wtf is wrong with Vicky. He wasted the momentum of Chhaava by wasting 2 years on love and war, where he will play second fiddle to Ranbir. Now he will play second fiddle to Aamir, who has his own downfall going on. Ranbir or Ranveer would never play a second fiddle to any 90s superstar. This was Vicky’s time to give solo blockbusters.”
Another commented, “Won’t be a good idea if Vicky does this. He has already committed a gore mistake by doing love and war.”
A third user said, “Vicky should say no to Rajkumar Hirani this time.”
A troll added, “Yeh kabhi superstar nhi bann payega.”
One more shared, “This movie will never go on the floors, will never get made. amir is justing throwing a bowl of noodles at the wall to see which bits stick at this point.”
The reactions clearly show that a section of fans is not convinced about the sequel or Vicky’s reported involvement in it.

Before stepping into this project, Vicky Kaushal is expected to complete work on his upcoming film Mahavatar, which will reportedly have a long shooting schedule. The actor was last seen in the blockbuster Chhaava and has been focusing on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love and War since then.
Meanwhile, Aamir Khan has confirmed that the sequel is in development. The story is expected to explore the lives of the characters after a 10-year gap, adding new conflicts and perspectives.
