Guys, Omi Vaidya from ‘3 idiots’ is back!

Released in 2009, ‘3 Idiots’ had almost become a rage. In a long time, a Bollywood film for once, took such a hard-hitting take at the present state of education in our country; with the right dose of humour. And apart from the three protagonists Aamir Khan, R Madhavan and Sharman Joshi, we loved another character equally. None other than Chatur Ramalingam aka Omi Vaidya set the laughter-tune high with his antics!

And if you distinctly remember and miss him, here’s a good news for you. Omi is set for a comeback in Bollywood! What’s better is he is coming back with yet another comedy!

This time, the project will be helmed by Abhinay Deo, who is otherwise acknowledged for making high-octane action flicks. Titled ‘Raita’, the comic caper will star Irrfan Khan.

“For this particular character in ‘Raita’, I couldn’t see anyone else other than Omi essaying it. We went the extra mile to reach out to him in the US and bring him back to Bollywood,” Abhinay told Mid-day.

The film has gone on floors. However, Omi begins shooting in May.

Excited already, aren’t we!
