Ever since it's been reported that Ranveer Singh and Varun Dhawan are likely coming together with a remake/sequel to 1994 cult classic Andaz Apna Apna, people have lost their calm. Where some are excited to see this new-age spin off. Many are uncertain if it's a good idea to remake a film as legendary as Andaz Apna Apna. Like, why mess with it? What if Ranveer and Varun fail to do justice to the magic that Salman Khan and Aamir Khan created in the original? - are the only kind of reactions doing the rounds on the internet. However, guess the final plan is not what it seems like...

Clarified a trade source in interaction with Pinkvilla, "The producers Vinay and Priti Sinha are planning to do Andaz Apna Apna - it won’t be a sequel or remake. Nor will Raj Kumar Santoshi direct it. While they have not decided yet what exactly it will be, they are sure it won’t be a remake or sequel but something as exciting. Raj Kumar Santoshi’s Andaz Apna Apna, starring Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Raveena Tandon and Karisma Kapoor, was a cult movie and one cannot mess with the original. One should not touch such a great film and that too 25 years later and destroy it by a remake or sequel. The director is yet to be finalised."

The source added, "AAA reloaded is a big film and the makers are treading cautiously as they want to finalise everything before making an announcement. Ranveer and Varun have been approached to play Amar and Prem for their comic flair, who again will be happy-go-lucky characters but not the same ones we saw in the 1994 movie. Both are good friends off screen and will be able to carry off their roles with ease. This will be set in 2019 and promises to be another laugh riot yet with underlying emotions. The iconic character of Crime Master Gogo (played by Shakti Kapoor earlier) will also make a comeback with a contemporary actor and his character will be more stylised and modern."

Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, Andaz Apna Apna was about two daydreamers (Amar and Prem) with a common aim - to get rich and marry a rich heiress. However, their journey after they meet Raveena Bajaj (Raveena Tandon), daughter of Ram Gopal Bajaj (Paresh Rawal) and their hilarious escapades when they run into each other and realise that they both are chasing the same girl is what the film is all about...

Let's see what's in store with this Andaz Apna Apna reboot. Until then, stay tuned to this space for more updates.
