Aamir Khan gives an update on ‘Andaz Apna Apna 2', reveals script is still in early stages: 'Raj Santoshi is working on...'
Aamir Khan
has finally opened up about 'Andaz Apna Apna 2', the much-awaited sequel to the 1994 cult classic where he starred alongside
Salman Khan
. While fans have long hoped for a reunion, Aamir has now clarified that nothing has been finalised yet.
Script in progress
In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Aamir revealed that director
Rajkumar Santoshi
is working on a version of 'Andaz Apna Apna 2', but it is still in its early stages. He added that both he and Salman Khan will only agree to the project if they are completely satisfied with the script.
'I really believe that scripts have to come out organically. So Raj Santoshi is working on a version of 'Andaz Apna Apna 2', but it's too early for me to say that it's being made, because until the script is ready and both Salman and I don't love what he narrates and we say yes, until then, the film actually won't be greenlit.
So right now, it's in very early stages. But let's all hope that he comes up with a good script. We're all hoping.

Earlier this year, the '3 Idiots' actor spoke about the sequel, but his remarks sparked controversy. The children of the late Vinay Kumar Sinha, who produced the original 'Andaz Apna Apna', responded by stating that Aamir was never a producer on the first film. They also made it clear that they have no plans to sell the rights to either Aamir or Rajkumar Santoshi.
The original classic
Released in 1994 and directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, 'Andaz Apna Apna' is considered one of Bollywood's most iconic comedy films. It starred Aamir Khan and Salman Khan in lead roles, with Raveena Tandon and Karisma Kapoor also playing key characters.
