Aamir Khan and Salman Khan will star in 'Andaz Apna Apna' sequel, confirms writer Dilip ShuklaAuthor : AZIndia News Desk
June 30 (AZINS) A few months back it was reported that the sequel of Andaz Apna Apna is on the cards which will star Ranveer Singh and Varun Dhawan in the lead roles. Talking about it, a trade source stated to Pinkvilla, "The producers Vinay and Priti Sinha are planning to do Andaz Apna Apna it won’t be a sequel or remake. Nor will Raj Kumar Santoshi direct it. While they have not decided yet what exactly it will be, they are sure it won’t be a remake or sequel but something as exciting. Raj Kumar Santoshi’s Andaz Apna Apna, starring Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Raveena Tandon and Karisma Kapoor, was a cult movie and one cannot mess with the original. One should not touch such a great film and that too 25 years later and destroy it by a remake or sequel. The director is yet to be finalised."
Now, the writer of Andaz Apna Apna, Dilip Shukla, who is also penning the sequel gave an interesting update on the same. He stated to Deccan Chronicle, "I am writing the sequel. It is not easy to pen a sequel. I have to bring something more attractive in comparison to the earlier one." On being quizzed if the sequel will have Aamir and Salman as well, Dilip replied, "The sequel cannot be complete without Salman Khan and Aamir Khan. They will be there along with three other new cast members."
Earlier, a source had detailed to Pinkvilla, "AAA reloaded a big film and the makers are treading cautiously as they want to finalise everything before making an announcement. Ranveer and Varun, have been approached for their comic flair to play Amar and Prem – who again will be happy-go-lucky characters but not the same ones we saw in the 1994 movie. Both are good friends off screen and will be able to carry off their roles with ease. This will be set in 2019 and promises to be another laugh riot yet with underlying emotions. while the iconic character of Crime Master Gogo (played by Shakti Kapoor earlier) will also make a comeback with a contemporary actor and his character will be more stylised and modern."
