Andaz Apna Apna just completed 25 years two days ago and has been one of the most iconic movies of Hindi cinema without a doubt. The winner in the film being the super cool ensemble cast featuring Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Raveena Tandon and Karisma Kapoor and the chemistry between the lead actors.
Being a film about friendship, we would assume they would have had a ball shooting such a fun film together, but guess we shouldn’t be too quick to assume. In an interview with Hindustan Times, Raveena revealed that there were only fights around the set and the environment was extremely tense. Wow, can you believe that!?
Speaking about it, Raveena says:
It was fun as while we were shooting, none of us were speaking to each other. Sabke jhagade chal rahe the. Aamir and Salman weren’t talking to each other. Karisma and I weren’t talking and neither were Salman and Rajji (Rajkumar Santoshi). I don’t know how that film got made. But, it shows we are damn good actors (laughs).
Elaborating about how she and Karisma also weren’t on talking terms, she recalls how Salman and Aamir, along with their director, Rajkumar Santoshi, tried to patch things up between the two.
Here’s what she said:
The boys tried to bring Karisma and me together. In fact, in the climax, there’s a scene where Karishma and I are tied to a pillar. Rajji said, ‘We won’t untie you, unless you talk to one another’. It was all so funny. I remember, while shooting scenes, we would all genuinely laugh a lot as the dialogues were so hilarious. Hamne maze bhi kiye aur jhagde bhi kiye.
What a great anecdote, right? Gotto love such inside scoops about the iconic movies and actors we have grown up watching!
