The cult popular film Andaz Apna Apna is an all time favorite comedy
film for many. Aamir, Salman, Raveena, Karishma, Paresh Rawal, and
Shakti Kapoor gave out one of the best multi-starrer films, that remains
young in our hearts till date.
P.S. Jagdeep who plays Bankey Lal Bhopali in the film has earlier played the role of Bhopali in films like Sholay and Soorma.
Want to know some lesser known facts about this all-time favorite film? Read on…
1. Ever noticed the change in Prem’s (Salman Khan) hairstyle throughout the film? It is because the film took 3 years to complete its shoot
Note the difference in Prem’s hairstyle
Short hair from HAHK to long hair from Saajan.
2. Remember what background music plays when Aamir cuts a ribbon in Tiku Talsania’s jail? Papa Kehte Hai Bada Naam Karega… The song gives a reference of his previous hit film Q se Q tak
How can they miss out on Salman. Remember the ‘Oranges’ scene in Raveena’s house where he hums Dekha Hai Pehli Baar? This was to give a reference of his previous hit film Saajan.
3. Speaking of references, remember when Salman is asked whether he has seen Sholay and he says, “Haan dus baar”, and Aamir jokingly says, “Iske baap ne toh likhi hai.” Fun fact: Salman’s father Salim Khan is the co-writer of Sholay
4. Wait, references are not over. Remember the Wah Wah Productions owned by Mehmood? Well, in one of his earlier films Pyaar Kiye Ja, Mehmood played the owner of a film production. Can you guess the name of it? Of course, it was Wah Wah Productions
5. Most of the dialogues were impromptu and some scenes were improvised on the spot. The film did not have a bound script
Wonder how Aamir was okay with that? But never mind, the film couldn’t be any better.
6. After the song ‘Do Mastane’, Amar calls the waiter as ‘Batle Danny’. Wondering whether it was hinted to his typical Asian looks, like the actor Danny Denzongpa
7. Remember how Bhalla (Shehzad Khan) talks in the film? He talks like the famous villain Ajit, who happens to be Bhalla’s real life father
8. Amar and Prem get equal footage in the film. They demanded for more screen space than the other, but later settled for equal screen time
9. This fact is interesting. In the film credits, the ‘S’ from Shakti Kapoor’s name is striked out and the letter ‘T’ is used instead. Any guesses why this was done? Because in the film Crime Master Gogo cannot say ‘S’ and instead replaces it with ‘T’. This spells him name in the film credits as Thakti Kapoor
Now you remember why he says Namate instead of Namaste?
P.S. Jagdeep who plays Bankey Lal Bhopali in the film has earlier played the role of Bhopali in films like Sholay and Soorma.
P.S.S. Crime Master Gogo is said to be the nephew of the popular villain Mogambo from Mr.India.
10. During the time of Andaz Apna Apna’s shoot, none of the actors gelled well with each other. In fact, they weren’t even on talking terms. Ironically, Raveena and Karishma play the roles of best friends and we saw a great chemistry between the two male leads
