During the shooting of 3 Idiots, the entire film team had reportedly stayed in the IIM Bangalore hostel for a couple of months. Aamir decided to stay at the hostel to get into his character; he interacted with students to know about their daily lives. “The star actor met students regularly during mornings and evenings and chatted with them about their routine studies and way of life. He inquired about how an IIM-Bian student thinks,” a student had said in an old interview.

Aamir will be next seen in Laal Singh Chaddha. Interestingly, he will be reuniting with his 3 Idiots co-star, Kareena Kapoor and Mona Singh in the film. It is releasing on August 11 this year.
