A still from Andaz Apna Apna
One of the most beloved cult comedies in Indian cinema, Andaz Apna Apna, will be making its grand return to theatres this April, 31 years after its original release. Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, who was recently at the India Today Conclave revealed that his co-actors Karisma Kapoor and Raveena Tandon had a bit of a conflict back then which jeopardised their shoot.
Aamir Khan recalled, "We had a lovely time. Also, have to say it was also a tough time because I was the only actor who used to come on time. Karisma used to come for the shoot and leave, and then Raveena would come. It was a challenge to shoot it."
He added, "Don't know if I should say this. Raveena and Karisma were having some conflicts. I used to think how this film would ever be completed. People didn't want to shoot with each other). But I really believed in that film. It was so wacky and mad. We were at our peak, Salman (Khan) and I, at the time. But the film didn't even run for a week. I was flummoxed because I thought it was a great film. But now I believe it is the number one film in home entertainment. Every generation has seen it, every generation wants to see it."
