New Delhi, Aug 31 - Aamir Khan, who is spending time with wife Kiran Rao after her miscarriage last month, says his much-awaited '3 Idiots' will hit the screens in December.

'Vinod (Vidhu Vinod Chopra) and Raju (Raj Kumar Hirani) tell me that the post production on '3 Idiots' is progressing well - so by the time I get back, the cut (final product) will be ready. Which means I can confirm to all those of you who have been repeatedly asking... yes, '3 Idiots' will be releasing on Christmas this year. I'll see the cut once I get back,' he wrote on his blog www.aamirkhan.com/blog/.

He didn't reveal his whereabouts, but informed: 'Kiran and I are away from home, in one very quiet spot, just lying in and resting. Reading, going for walks, watching films.'

The actor says he is utilising his time to catch up on a few films and books - something that he hasn't been able to do thanks to his chock-a-block schedules.
