3 Idiots, Bollywood’s biggest grosser of all time, is going to be released across Australia when it is screened as a part of the film festival that aims to bridge the cultural gap between people of two countries. Considering that there has been a slew of attack on Indian people in Australia of late, the media is doing everyting possible to make sure ‘all izz well’ between the two countries.

For the next two months, people in Australia will be treated to a number of Indians films, local media reported. One of the movies is 3 Idiots the mega-hit that has won hearts of many people in India. Rani Mukherjee and director of the film, Raj Kumar Hirani are in Australia to attend the proceedings. “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.

Rani Mukherjee, the talented actress who has given hits like Black(2005) and Saathiya (2002), 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. Mukherjee said that Bollywood films resonated with audiences around the world because they were “all about heart”.
