There is no doubt that if you ask any Bollywoodphile which his favourite comedy movie is, most probably the answer would be Andaz Apna Apna. The cult classic comedy caper was directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and starred Aamir Khan and Salman Khan in the lead (and the only time they did so together) playing the legendary funny duo, Amar Prem. For years, the fans have been clamouring for a sequel that continues the adventures of Amar Prem. However, despite Santoshi's best efforts, things didn't fall in place, even though Aamir and Salman evinced interest (more so to please the fans). There was also an idea of an animated movie based on Andaz Apna Apna, that fell apart because of copyright issues.

Now to give fans a glimmer of hope, a report in DNA states that a reboot is in the works. Though the report doesn't divulge details of who is behind this project, it mentions that everyone's go-to leading man these days, Sushant Singh Rajput, is being eyed for the leading role. A source told the publication, “Even though nothing has really been locked, they are planning the Andaaz Apna Apna Reboot."

We had also reported about how Sushant was also in talks to star in the sequel for the 2002 heist thriller, Aankhen, which might also star Amitabh Bachchan and Kartik Aaryan. With already so many movies in the kitty, like the dacoit drama Son Chiriya, the Fault in Our Stars remake, Nitesh Tiwari's next, Karan Johar's Drive, we wonder how SSR manages to shuffle things. Although we have to add here, that this particular AAA reboot news has to be taken with a pinch of salt, knowing how 'successfully' the makers had tried to reignite plans to relaunch the movie in the past.
