¡®Andaz Apna Apna¡¯s Next Part Will Be Called Ada Apni Apni¡¯: Confirms Director Rajkumar Santoshi
As Rajkumar Santoshi inches closer to the release of his film Gandhi Godse Ek Yudh, he bets on this film's success that he'll make Ada Apni Apni, a part of the Andaz Apna Apna franchise.
Filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi is best known for his films Ghayal, Damini, Barsaat, Ghatak and Andaz Apna Apna. The director who was on hiatus currently is all set to return to his director¡¯s seat after nine years. After directing Shahid Kapoor¡¯s Phata Poster Nikhla Hero in 2013, Santoshi¡¯s upcoming project will be Gandhi Godse Ek Yudh.
While promoting his film that releases on 26th January, Rajkumar has confirmed the next part of Andaz Apna Apna to be in making.
Saying that he will announce the film only if Gandhi Godse Ek Yudh will be a hit, Santoshi told India Today, ¡°I want to tell all the fans of Andaz Apna Apna to support all my films. I won¡¯t call it a sequel but we are planning another part in the same franchise (of sorts) titled Ada Apni Apni. It will feature two young actors and actresses, like Andaz Apna Apna. The work is already in progress.¡±
When asked who those actors will be Rajkumar said, ¡°I already have the actors in mind for the film but it all depends on how my current film performs.¡± For the unversed, Andaz Apna Apna (1994) starred Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Raveena Tandon, and Karishma Kapoor in lead alongside Paresh Rawal and Shakti Kapoor.
Interestingly, Gandhi Godse Ek Yudh clashes with Shah Rukh Khan¡¯s highly-anticipated Pathaan on the same weekend.
Reacting to the same, Santoshi told at a press conference, ¡°Shah Rukh Khan is a very hardworking actor. He is one of the most respected stars in the industry. I¡¯ve known him for years, he is a very good person. He puts a lot of effort into his films, and I send him good wishes for his film. Yash Raj Films is a very reputed banner and they¡¯re coming with a very ambitious film. They have a separate fan following and they will watch their film.¡±

¡°Our film is very different, people who have an interest in such films and like such films will watch our film. Ours is not a song-and-dance film, it is a very different film. I don¡¯t worry about such things (box office clash). Both films are very different in nature and each in its proper place. I¡¯m not worrying about who is in front of us, I¡¯m only focusing on my film,¡± he added.
