Aamir didn’t bother to read Chetan Bhagat`s novel for ‘3 Idiots’

Mumbai: For all those who thought that Aamir Khan would have thoroughly consulted Chetan Bhagat’s ‘Five Point Someone’ for polishing his role in ‘3 Idiots’, there’s news. Aamir hasn’t bothered to read Bhagat’s novel, despite the fact that his much-awaited flick ‘3 Idiots’ is based on the book. Known for his perfectionist ways, Aamir accepted the role in ‘3 Idiots’, only on the basis of its script and not Bhagat`s novel. The reason he gave was that though the film is inspired by the book, he believed director Raju Hirani would have had a different take on the same. The actor apparently thought that it was better to go by the script than make notions about the film on the basis of the novel. "I have only read the script and not the book yet," Aamir says. "For me, the script is very important and so are the dialogues. If it is well- written, everything else falls into place," adds the actor, who plays a character called Rancho in the film.
