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.

Couldn't understand maths but it does not define me: Boman Irani on his struggles with dyslexia
New Delhi [India], June 20 (ANI): Bollywood actor Boman Irani, known for his standout roles in 'Munna Bhai MBBS', '3 Idiots', and 'Khosla Ka Ghosla', has been vocal about his childhood struggles with dyslexia. Reflecting on his journey, Irani shared how he overcame the challenges, highlighting that the learning disorder doesn't 'define' who he is today. In a candid conversation with ANI, Boman Irani spoke about the uniqueness of every individual, pointing out that no two people share the same DNA, which makes each person naturally different. He urged people to use their 'ability or disability' to their advantage and to focus on areas in which they truly excel. 'No human being's DNA is identical. Right? Their structure, or maybe their dyslexia, or some aptitude, or the left brain, or the right brain, or there are different forms of autism, light spectrum, heavy spectrum. And everybody should use their ability or their disability to their advantage. I always think that when I was in school, I could not understand mathematics. And that does not define me. What does define me then? My ability to communicate. My ability to tell stories. My ability to use my body. My ability to use my voice. Use that,' said Boman Irani. The 'Khosla Ka Ghosla' actor shared that while he struggles with numbers and has no memory for arithmetic, he has excelled in other areas, like remembering film scenes since childhood. He concluded by urging people never to feel inferior because of their differences. 'I have a great memory for certain things. I have no memory for numbers. Zero. So, you can teach me arithmetic for hours, I will never understand it. So, that is society's way of judging you. I don't get judged like that. I get judged by my own personal competence. So, when I was 11 years old, I saw this scene in a movie. I still have that clear memory because maybe because of some disability or ability. So, I just feel, one must never feel inferior to anybody,' said Boman Irani. With the diverse filmography under his belt, the actor opened up about some of the memorable roles of his career. One of them was his iconic role of 'Kishen Khurana' in Dibakar Banerjee's 'Khosla Ka Ghosla' in 2006. Being a Parsi from South Bombay, the makers were sceptical about Boman's casting for the role of a Punjabi businessman in the film. 'Khosla Ka Ghosla was a big, big thing for me as an actor. As a performer. Everybody was very sceptical of me doing the role, because I'm a Parsi from South Bombay, and I'm playing a Punjabi from Delhi. And, yeh nahi kar paayega (he won't be able to do it). So, I said, no, no, no, the moment you say nahi kar paayega na, toh maine challenge le liya (I took it as a challenge). Katam ho gya ( It was over then). And, then you work harder and harder and harder to do the insurmountable. So, in that sense, it was, for me, very special. And, then, people couldn't believe that I'm, you know, Parsi from South Bombay, behaving, you know, the way this character was behaving,' said Boman Irani. Boman Irani will be next seen in the film 'Detective Sherdil', which is exclusively streaming on Zee5 from today. He will be joined by Diljit Dosanjh, Diana Penty, Ratna Pathak, Sumit Vyas, and others in the film. (ANI)
