Heard this?? Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Amitabh Bachchan, who are considered to be the biggest icons of bollywood, will be attending the premiere of  Rajkumar Hirnai’s upcoming flick ‘3 Idiots’ to be held on Wednesday.
Sources close to Aamir Khan say that the versatile Khan personally telephoned Shah Rukh Khan, his toughest competitor in the tinsel town, to be present on the occasion and King Khan, generous as usual, confirmed his presence at the theatre for Aamir Khan’s magnum opus. Salman Khan, who has been closely bonding with Aamir Khan, too, gave his consent about his presence at tomorrow’s grand event.
To make the premiere one of the most memorable events, even Shehanshah of bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan, has agreed to Aamir Khan’s entreaty and will be registering his larger than life presence at the premiere of the flick tomorrow. The flick also has sizzling hot Kareena Kapoor, suave Sharman Joshi and R Madhavan playing pivotal roles in the film.

The industry is awaiting with bated breath the mega event being organized for Aamir Khan’s ‘3 Idiots’ tomorrow. The gathering will be not only large but also include the three Big Khans of bollywood under the same roof for the first time.
Sources say that given the past rivalry between Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, the premiere might also see some crackling remarks from the Badshah’s side on the occasion. Though King Khan is not expected to spoil the party but he may go for a friendly dig at Aamir Khan’s reputation of being perfectionist and at the same time being one of the idiots in the flick.
