Shankar doesn't want to take unnecessary breaks between the shooting schedules, so things are moving faster than before. Much prior to the release of 'Endhiran', the filmmaker had completed working on a script on the remake of '3 Idiots' that consists of 109 scenes.

According to inside reports, Shankar is planning to go on a full-fledged shooting schedule of 50days, with which the entire project gets wrapped up. Right now, the entire crew consisting of Vijay, Jeeva, Srikanth and Ileana are busy shooting in Coimbatore. It looks like soon after completing the talkie portions, Shankar will fly down to foreign locations for some songs.

Initially, plans were to shoot the film simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu with Vijay and Mahesh Babu taking on the role enacted by Aamir Khan. Due to some issues, Shankar decided to have the film dubbed in Telugu, with Vijay himself in the lead role.
