Can Rajkumar Santoshi Really Make A Sequel To Andaz Apna Apna?

Aamir Khan's proclamation that Rajkumar Santoshi's working on a sequel to Andaz Apna Apna sounds like wishful thinking. Over the years, the film has acquired the reputation of a cult comedy. In the meantime, Rajkumar Santoshi, who was once the illustrious director of such powerful dramas as Ghayal, Ghatak,

and Damini, and the grossly underrated Lajja is said to be working on a script to the Aamir-Salman comedy.

About the Andaz Apna Apna sequel, Santoshi had told Zoom in 2015, “I don’t believe in creating a franchise by doing sequels or building my own brand. But the demand for a sequel to AAA is unbelievable. If I don’t do it, someone else will. That I won’t allow. I’ve ideas for two sequels. One of them is about the two heroes Amar and Prem marrying and their lives thereafter. The world has moved on in 20 years. I see a lot of filmmakers and actors doing an Andaz Apna Apna

. I would like to see where the characters have gone after so long.”

Thereafter, filmmaker-producer Vinay Sinha, who owned the rights to Andaz Apna Apna, made it very clear that Santoshi did not have any legal claim to the cult comedy. Now, after producer Vinay Sinha’s death, the chances of a sequel to Andaz Apna Apna seem widely remote. So let's just say Aamir is willing, but fate is not.
