Andaz Apna Apna is one of Bollywood's best loved comedies. The film immortalised Salman Khan and Aamir Khan as the lovable Prem and Amar. Twenty two years after the release of the comic caper, Phantom Productions are set to remake the cult classic.

According to reports, the production house has bought the remake rights of the film from Preeti Sinha, the daughter of producer Vinay Sinha - who was one of the major financers of Andaz Apna Apna.

Phantom has already locked the script, which has been reworked by Vivek Soni and Hardik Mehta. The latter bagged a National Award this year for his non-feature film on kite flying in Ahmedabad titled Amdavad Ma Famous.

The production house is keen to explore Bollywood comedies, a major reason why they have decided to remake the Rajkumar Santoshi directorial.
