Rajkumar Hirani said, “Aamir ke saath ek boy kaam karta hai, Sachin. Jab film release hui, toh team ne dekhi, and then Sachin came to me. He told me, ‘Sir film toh achi lagi, but ek cheez achi nahi lagi. Aapne hum gareebon ka mazak udaya hai.”
This left the director shocked and he went on the think about how some people may have perceived the movie. He said that he never intended to mock the poor people. He added, “Main toh cinema ki baat kar raha tha. Ek waqt jab black and white cinema hua karta tha, Waha ek ghar dikhate the with laachar maa, kunwari bhen, aur bimaar baap. But we didn’t know how it could get such a reaction.”
He said that later he realised that he must be very careful while making such scenes. Talking about 3 Idiots, it is adapted from Chetan Bhagat’s Five Point Someone. The film was the highest-grossing Indian film at that time.
