The movie is expected to be released in the second half of this year.
Now users can legally download movie 3 Idiots, Aamir Khan's latest starrer which will release on Friday, 25th December.
But users will have wait for at least 12 weeks to download the film legally.
3 Idiots is produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra and directed by Rajkumar Hirani. The cast of the film includes Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Sharman Joshi and Madhavan. Kajol will make a special appearance in the film.
3 Idiots is one of the most awaited films of 2009, which has not been a good year for Bollywood.
Vidhu Vinod Chopra revealed that 3 Idiots will be the first Bollywood film that viewers will be allowed to download legally.
Vidhu Vinod Chopra said, "This is the first film ever that you can actually download and watch on YouTube after 12 weeks from now."
He said that they planned to release the film on the popular website YouTube for those viewers who cannot afford to view the movie in multiplexes.
"I'm providing this facility for those who cannot see it on big screen and watch pirated movies. I just want them to discourage pirated prints. They just need to wait for 12 weeks and after that they can legally download the movie and watch it," said Chopra.
"Tomorrow if there is a facility to watch movies on mobile phones, the film will be available there but in appropriate time. We can't harm our theatrical business by releasing at DTH," Chopra added.
Plot Two friends (Madhavan and Sharman Joshi) embark on a quest for a lost buddy. On this journey, they encounter a long forgotten bet, a wedding they must crash and a funeral that goes impossibly out of control. As they make their way through the perilous landscape, another journey begins: their inner journey through memory lane and the story of their friend – the irrepressible free thinker Rancho (Aamir Khan), who in his unique way, touched and changed their lives. It's a story of their hostel days that swings between Rancho's romance with the spirited Pia (Kareena Kapoor), and his clash with an oppressive mentor, Viru Sahastrabudhhe (Boman Irani). And then one day, suddenly, Rancho vanishes....
Kareena Kapoor and Aamir Khan who star together in the movie ''3 Idiots', have not one, but three kissing scenes in the film.
The producers of the film had tried to keep the details secret from the media. The first kiss scene is a flying kiss, the second one is cheek kiss, while the last one is a full blown lip-to-lip kiss between Aamir and Kareena.
Aamir Khan being the perfectionist rehearsed several times with Kareena and there were 14 re-takes before the scene was finally okayed.
Aamir Khan had earlier done one of the most passionate and longest kissing scenes in a Bollywood movie with Karishma Kapoor, Kareena's elder sister, in the movie 'Raja Hindustani'.
Producers and directors had always tried to get Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor together in a film, such as Mani Ratnam in 'Lajjo' and Vishal Bhardwaj in 'Mr. Singh and Mrs. Mehta', but somehow the movies never took off and the pairing between Aamir and Kareena never worked out.
'3 Idiots' stars Aamir, Kareena, Sharman Joshi and Madhavan in lead roles and is directed by Rajkumar Hirani.
Two of Bollywood's biggest superstars, Aamir Khan and Hrithik Roshan are expected to be signed for the remake of the superhit Telugu movie 'Magadheera'.
The producers of Bollywood's biggest hit Ghajini, Allu Arvind and Madhu Mantena are planning to cast Aamir and Hrithik in the movie. The producers are planning this movie to be twice as big as Ghajini.
The Telugu movie 'Magadheera' starred South superstar Chiranjeevi's son Ram Charan Teja and it grossed nearly 70 crores at the box office. The film was directed by S. S. Rajamouli.
In the original Telugu movie the plot was based in the 17th century, the hero had a double role in which he had a split personality.
In the Hindi remake of Magadheera, the hero's role will be split into two characters. Hrithik Roshan is expected to play the 17th century Samurai's role and Aamir Khan will be play the role of the modern avatar.
Aishwarya Rai and Aamir Khan have never acted in a film together although Aishwarya had a special appearance role in Aamir Khan's movie 'Mela'.
Aishwarya was supposed to act with Aamir Khan in the movie 'The Rising: Ballad of Mangal Pandey', but ultimately things did not work out and the two never acted in any film.

Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar seem to have reached an understanding amongst themselves to bring down Shah Rukh Khan from his No. 1 ranking in Bollywood. According to sources, Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar met together for dinner a few days ago in order to discuss their common action plan to dethrone Shah Rukh Khan from the No. 1 spot. (Click to enlarge images)
Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar do not consider each other rivals or competition since both of them have a different image and do different kind of films. While Aamir Khan is known as Mr. Perfectionist and does only one film at a time in a year, Akshay Kumar has made a niche for himself in comedy and action films which are complete entertainers.
At the Star Screen Awards held a few days ago, Akshay Kumar who was given 'The Most Popular Actor' award, said that it was Aamir Khan who was more deserving of that award. Everyone knows that Aamir Khan never attends any film awards function.
In 2008, both Aamir Khan and Akshay have closed the gap between them and Shah Rukh Khan as far as the race for the No. 1 spot in Bollywood is concerned. Akshay Kumar had a number of continous hits in 2008 and Aamir Khan was also the toast of Bollywood with his critically acclaimed movie 'Taare Zameen Par' and the superhit action film 'Ghajini' which has already crossed Rs. 225 crores collections worldwide (the highest in Bollywood so far).
While Shah Rukh Khan's movie 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' did not have a spectacular run judging by SRK's own high standards, Akshay Kumar's just released movie 'Chandni Chowk to China' also does not seem to have had very encouraging collections in the first 3 days. But Akshay Kumar has benefited from the extensive publicity of the film and continues to be in the public eye.
It remains to be seen how Shah Rukh Khan reacts to this new development, considering the fact that he has two new releases 'Billoo Barber' and 'My Name is Khan' in 2009.
The war for the title of 'King of Bollywood' in the year 2009 has well and truly begun! Watch this space for more!
The long time and close relationship between Shah Rukh Khan and Yash Raj Films seems to be in troubled waters. Sources close to Shah Rukh Khan have revealed that Shah Rukh Khan is annoyed with Yash Raj Films and cracks have started surfacing in their relationship.
2008 was a bad year for Yash Chopra and Aditya Chopra with their star studded films like "Tashan", "Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic", "Roadside Romeo" having failed miserably at the box office. The Aditya Chopra directed "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi" starring Shah Rukh Khan was the only major hit that Yash Raj Films had, and that too at the end of the year.
The source revealed that the Chopras think that Shah Rukh Khan's success is due to Yash Raj Films. Although Shah Rukh Khan's "Baazigar" was a very successful film, the Chopras feel that their movie "Darr" brought him recognition and their superhit film "Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge" made Shah Rukh Khan the Badshah of Bollywood as he is today.
As per the source, Shah Rukh Khan feels that he is taken for granted by the Chopras and is treated badly on the sets of their movies inspite of his star status. The Chopras seem to have a condescending attitude towards him, is what Shah Rukh Khan feels. The Chopras even feel that in the case of their films, Shah Rukh Khan should reduce the price that he normally charges for acting in movies. It is well known in Bollywood that actors and actresses are willing to work at much lower prices just to get a role in a Yash Raj Films movie, such is the clout of the Chopras in the industry.
Also, Shah Rukh Khan is upset since his close friend, Karan Johar is yet to receive a large sum of money which the Chopras owe to Karan. But Karan being the gentleman that he is, has never raised the issue directly with the Chopras.
Relations have deteriorated to such a level that Karan Johar will not be distributing his next 2 films, "Wake Up Sid" and Rensil D'Silva's movie, through Yash Raj Films which he normally used to do. Also, Yash Raj Films is negotiating with none other than Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan (Shah Rukh Khan's rival for the No. 1 slot in Bollywood), for their next movie which will be directed by Yash Chopra himself.
So, has the relation finally ended? Only time will tell.
To celebrate the super success of the Aamir Khan's latest movie Ghajini, which has already crossed a turnover of Rs. 110 crores of business, the producers of the movie held a success bash with the entire Ghajini team in full attendance. (Click to enlarge images)
Seen at the party were Aamir Khan, his wife Kiran Rao, Asin, Jiah Khan and director Murugadoss.
Director Murugadoss has confirmed that his next Hindi movie will be with Aamir Khan once again.
