The Indian Luxury Expo, to be held in Hyderabad on December 13 to 15 will have the Volvo SUV from the blockbuster '3 Idiots' going up for auction, a full four years after the movie’s release.
According to organisers, the car, which was used by actors Madhvan and Sharman Joshi to track down Aamir Khan in Leh, is up for grabs at a starting bid of over Rs 30 lakh. And offers for the SUV, are coming in already. “We have got an offer of Rs 34 lakh from a doctor,” said Karan Bhangay, CEO of the Expo.
And when asked why such a strange item was going under the hammer in Hyderabad, he added: “In Mumbai, people are not star struck. For them it’s not a big deal. But when it comes to other cities, people value such possessions.”
The proceeds from the vehicle’s sale will go to charity United Way and the organisers also claimed that they’re in talks with R. Madhavan to hand over the car in Hyderabad.
