The Ambani brothers may be at war with each other in real life, but that hasn’t stopped them from collaborating in reel life. The Aamir Khan starrer 3 Idiots, a Reliance Big Pictures release (an Anil Ambani enterprise), starts off thanking Mukesh Ambani for giving it permission to shoot at the IIM Bangalore campus — Mukesh Ambani is the chairman of IIM Bangalore.
The film ends with special thanks for Amitabh Jhunjhunwala, a key Anil Ambani aide. It’s not clear if this was only director Rajkumar Hirani’s idea or whether someone in the Anil Ambani camp was trying to be funny.
