3
Idiots
or
Idiots,
well
that's
the
dilemma
director
Raj
Kumar
Hirani
is
going
through
in
the
run-up
to
the
release
of
his
movie
this
Christmas.
The
director
is
now
in
two
minds
whether
to
drop
the
prefix
'3'
from
the
title
of
his
upcoming
Aamir
Khan
and
Kareena
Kapoor
starer
based
on
Chetan
Bhagat's
novel
Five
Point
Someone.
Hirani
had
always
wanted
to
title
the
movie
Idiots
but
this
was
registered
by
filmmaker
Deepak
Shivdasani.
Hirani
tried
to
get
the
title
from
Shivdasani
but
the
little
known
director
demanded
a
whopping
Rs
25
lakhs
to
let
go
of
it.
Shivdasani
felt
it
was
just
considering
the
magnitude
of
the
film
with
a
cast
like
Aamir
Khan,
Kareena
Kapoor,
Madhavan
and
Sharman
Joshi
and
produced
by
Vidhu
Vinod
Chopra.
Hirani
had
tried
his
best
to
convince
Shivdasani
but
he
did
not
give
up
on
his
demand
and
meanwhile
Hirani
shot
the
movie
with
the
3
Idiots
title.
Deepak
Shivdasani
finally
seems
to
have
realised
that
just
with
a
title
he
would
never
be
able
to
match
up
with
3
Idiots
and
has
offered
the
title
to
Hirani.
The
director
is
now
what
having
second
thoughts
about
reverting
to
his
original
title,
Idiots.
Aamir
however
wants
to
continue
with
3
Idiots
as
the
title
has
become
a
brand
in
itself
as
even
the
posters
for
the
movie
are
out.
He
has
spoken
about
this
to
Hirani
and
Vidhu
Vinod
Chopra.
