The Andaz Apna Apna 2 director, Priti Sinha, and the daughter of the original film’s producer Vinay Sinha Priti Sinha has cleared some misconceptions about the upcoming film. According to The Indian Express, she said, “The film is not a remake of the original Andaz Apna Apna.”
Vinay Pictures produced the original film in the early 90s with Aamir Khan and Salman Khan in the lead.
She further clarified that “Vinay Sinha has not sold the rights to Phantom Films or anybody else as reported by a section of media.” Andaz Apna Apna 2 still remains a Sinha family production.
The film will go on floors soon.
