On July 11, 2024, The Academy’s official Instagram handle shared an iconic scene from the movie 3 Idiots. It was the scene where a professor refuses to accept the exam papers of Aamir Khan, R. Madhavan, and Sharman Joshi’s characters Rancho, Farhan, and Raju when they are late. Rancho then uses his cleverness and mixes their papers with those of the others since the professor didn’t know their names or roll numbers.

Written by Rajkumar Hirani and Abhijat Joshi (Based on the novel ‘Five Point Someone’ by Chetan Bhagat). Starring Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Omi Vaidya and Boman Irani.”
