Bollywood has a thing for sequels, and the success of Gadar 2 (2023) has spurred filmmakers to revisit hits from the past. Following news of Dharmesh Darshan considering Dhadkan 2, here’s another update: his brother Suneel Darshan is set to shoot the sequel to his popular film Andaaz (2003).

The director exclusively told Bollywood Hungama, “20 years after the release of 2003’s hit Andaaz, which launched then newcomers Lara Dutta and Priyanka Chopra opposite Akshay Kumar, I am about to commence the filming of Andaaz 2. The shoot begins from tomorrow.” He added, “Andaaz 2 will feature three new talents in leading roles with original music by Nadeem of Nadeem-Shravan fame and lyrics by Sameer and Nadeem.” The Shree Krishna International presentation is being written, produced and directed by Suneel Darshan.

Suneel Darshan declined to reveal the names of the newcomers, assuring that he will announce the star cast soon. Andaaz, directed by Raj Kanwar and produced by Suneel Darshan, delved into a love triangle between a man and two women. The film gained popularity for its songs, emotional moments, and sizzling chemistry between the actors.

In an exclusive interview with the same publication in May 2022, Suneel Darshan said, “Several cinemas wanted to shut down over the course of the (2003) strike. We had distributed the film ourselves and I personally called the theatre owners and requested to keep their cinemas going. I assured them that they’ll benefit from Andaaz as I had that faith in the product. And thankfully, the film became a rage in the single screens.”

The 2003 film also starred Lara Dutta, apart from Priyanka Chopra and Akshay Kumar, as the lead. Pankaj Dheer, Johny Lever, Maya Alagh, and others were cast in supporting characters.
