Aamir Khan gives an update on ‘Andaz Apna Apna 2', reveals script is still in early stages: 'Raj Santoshi is working on...'
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.

Aamir Khan On Casting Fatima Sana Shaikh As Lover In Thugs Of Hindostan After Dangal: 'Asal Mein Thodi Baap Hu'
Aamir Khan reveals why Thugs of Hindostan flopped, casting rejections by top actresses, and his creative clashes with Aditya Chopra and Vijay Krishna Acharya. For an actor known for picking quality scripts, Aamir Khan's Thugs of Hindostan came as a surprising misstep. Despite its big budget and star power, the film failed to meet expectations. Over time, Aamir has been candid about what went wrong — from casting struggles to major script changes that left him frustrated. Speaking with The Lallantop, Aamir recalled how the female lead role wasn't easy to fill. Several top actresses turned it down before Fatima Sana Shaikh came on board. 'When we were casting for it, no other female actor said yes to this part. Deepika, Alia, Shraddha, they all refused. That film was offered to the entire industry but no one wanted to do it," he revealed. When asked if the script's quality was the reason, Aamir admitted that could have played a role. Once Fatima was cast, another concern arose — their on-screen dynamic. Having played her father in Dangal, Aamir was now expected to play her love interest. The director decided to remove the romantic storyline entirely. 'We won't have a romantic track between you and her because she was your daughter in Dangal, how can she play your girlfriend here? Audience will reject this." But Aamir strongly disagreed with this reasoning. 'I don't believe in all of this. Main asal mein thode uska baap hun, aur na asal mein main uska boyfriend hun. Hum log film bana rahe hain bhai," he said. He backed his point with an example from the past. 'Audience is not this stupid that they will think that he is the actual father. We are underestimating our audience if we say that." He also revealed that the film kept changing from its original version. Aamir said the script was altered so many times that the final version felt unfamiliar. After the movie was completed, he got an enthusiastic call from producer Aditya Chopra. 'I have seen the first cut and it is a brilliant film. You have no idea what you have made." But Aamir had a different reaction. 'I was shocked," he said. 'I told them I didn't understand it and at first, they thought I was joking. I told them this won't work for a day." The disagreement didn't end there. 'I would fight with them every day that we have made it all wrong. This is structurally incorrect." He also revealed that one of the original ideas was to kill off Amitabh Bachchan's character at the interval — a major plot twist that was later scrapped. Aamir said he had little control over those choices. 'Vijay and Aditya were both convinced and they were very happy with it and they did not want me to interfere with it. They are the director and producer of the film and they have the final say." First Published:

Aamir Khan says he's tired of telling his son Junaid Khan to get a car: 'He once took a state transport bus instead of a flight'
Aamir Khan 's son Junaid Khan made his debut with 'Maharaj' on OTT and his first theatrical release was 'Loveyapa' with Khushi Kapoor . Junaid had become a talk of the town due to his down-to-earth behaviour despite being a star-kid. He travels in auto-rickshaws and that also became a point of discussion. Now in a recent interview, Aamir has admitted that he tried convincing Junaid to take a car but he refused. The '3 Idiots' actor also recalled an instance where he chose to travel via bus instead of a flight. Aamir said in an interview with The New India, "All three of my children are very sensitive. During the pandemic, both Reena's parents caught the virus together, and Junaid immediately offered to move in with them. For two weeks, he took care of them alone, and made sure that they were okay, because even the help wasn't around then. It just shows what a sensitive person he is. I felt very proud. He added, 'You'd be shocked to know that Junaid hasn't bought a car ever. He's done two movies. He uses public transport. I'm tired of telling him to get a car; he can take one of mine, I have cars. He says, 'No, dad, I don't need a car, I just book an OLA'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo He was in Kerala one time, and he had to attend a friend's wedding in Bengaluru. I asked him what flight he's on, and he said that he's taking the overnight state transport bus. He's an unusual kind of person. But they were never raised to be materialistic. I don't care for money much myself.' Junaid had revealed in an interview that he choses a certain lifestyle just for convenience. For instance, travelling in train to Mira Road is easier than being stuck in traffic for two hours. He had also said during a chat with Connect Cine, 'Papa makes a big deal out of small things. I just travel the most efficient way of traveling. I often take rickshaws in Mumbai because it is easier to get around and not worry about parking. '
