Bollywood Film 3 Idiots Scheduled for Theatrical Re-Release on September 4, 2026
The 2009 Bollywood film 3 Idiots, directed by Rajkumar Hirani and starring Aamir Khan, is set for a theatrical re-release on September 4, 2026, nearly 17 years after its original debut. NH Studioz acquired the rights as part of a larger catalogue purchase. The film, a major box office success, remains culturally significant and is linked in public discourse to education reformer Sonam Wangchuk, whose ongoing hunger strike has renewed interest in the movie. The re-release coincides with other major film premieres.
