Hirani also revealed that when he went to speak to Aamir about the role, he was shocked because the actor, who was shooting for "Ghajini" that time, was sporting a six-pack abs.


"When I went to discuss the character, I was shocked to see his huge built, but he assured me that he will look much younger than he has ever looked. In three to four months, he toned down his figure and became lean," Hirani told IANS.


Hirani says that when he read Chetan Bhagat's "Five Point Someone", he thought of making a film on hostel life. But the story changed in due course of writing.


"The book had very good anecdotes but there wasn't any plotline. While writing the story, the plotline went on changing and it ended up with a completely different story," said Hirani.


Hirani's earlier directorial ventures -- "Munnabhai M.B.B.S" and "Lage Raho Munna Bhai" -- had a thought provoking message.


Asked if "3 idiots" is having any message, he said: "The message in this film is you study to be eligible, success is ought to come."


Kareena Kapoor and Boman Irani too feature in the film, while Kajol will make a special appearance.


The film was shot at the Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad and is scheduled to release Dec 25.
