3 Idiots, one of the biggest Bollywood grossers of all time, is set to spread smiles across Australia when it is screened as part of a film festival aimed at bridging the cultural gap between people of two countries amid a slew of attacks on Indians. For the next two months, people in Australia will be treated to number of Indians films, local media reported. 3 Idiots starring Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan will be screened on Tursday (March 11) by its Director Rajkumar Hirani, who is in the country to promote the Indian film festival along with actress rani Mukherjee. 'Those incidents (of attacks on Indians) are sad, but one wouldn't like to say that every person, every Australian walking along the street is against Indians, I would never like to say that,' Hirani said. Mukherjee, often referred to as the Queen of Bollywood, said that their visit is for a bigger cause. 'We are here to promote our movies culturally. We are here for the large number of Australians who love our cinema. We are for the Indians and the Asian communities who watch our movies, so we are here for a greater cause. Just a few people believe in hatred,' she said.
