'Idiots' means 'I do it on my terms': Hirani


Bollywood director Rajkumar Hirani showed his witty side on his birthday and said 'idiots' when expanded means 'I do it on my terms', talking about his much-awaited film "3 idiots".

"Idiots think unconventionally and they listen to their heart while taking a decision. 'Idiots' means 'I do it on my terms'," Hirani told reporters Friday at an FM radio station here.


He came to the FM office with music director Shantanu Moitro, lyricist Swanand Kirkire and playback singer Suraj Jagan to promote his film and was pleasantly surprised to find a birthday cake waiting for him there.

"I thank you all. It's really a pleasant surprise for me," said Hirani.

"3 idiots" is about three engineering students played by Sharman Joshi, Aamir Khan and R. Madhavan and their experiences on the campus.

The director revealed that whatever is shown in the film, most of it was taken from his college days and that viewers can easily identify with it.

"Whatever you see in '3 idiots' is taken from our life. Some parts of the film are so natural that one can easily identify with what he or his friends did since the beginning of their college life," said Hirani.

"Whenever we write a story, either we copy from a film (laughs), take from a novel or dig into our personal experience and scoop out moments from it," added Hirani.
