filmmaker Pahlaj Nihalani is back to
producing films. He came up with a bold
movie like Julie 2, but after its debacle,
everyone thought he would give up on film-
making completely. However, looks like he is
in no mood to leave the business. In fact, he
has a couple of film ideas lined up already,
one of which is the sequel to Govinda's
1993 hit action-comedy, Aankhen. Not only
does he have a script nearly ready, but also
his choices of actors. With two leads in the
movie, he wants Ranveer Singh and Arjun
Kapoor to come on board for this one. But if
they don't agree, he has other options as
well.
As Pahlaj Nihalani revealed to Mid-Day,
" Ranveer and Arjun are No 1 on my wish-
list. I want them to play the leads in Aankhan
Chaar. But this film will be unique because
Nihalani plans to showcase two pairs of
twins in the outing, as he further added,
"They have great chemistry. With each
character playing a double role, we will see
two Ranveers and two Arjuns, along with a
chimpanzee. Should the deal with the
actors not materialise, he already has a
back-up plan. "Ranbir and Imran will also
make an excellent combination, as will
Ranbir and Shahid and Ayushmann
Rajkummar. While talking about the film, he
even mentioned that the animal, will be the
only common thread between the original
and this version. (ALSO READ Pahlaj

the film is the responsibility of the Censor
Board, not public or the government )
The producer also plans to make the film in
such a way that it caters to the young
audience, as he told the tabloid, "The subject
will be completely different. It should reflect
current times. It should be modern, keeping
the trends and the youth's preferences in
mind. It will have Indian values and
sentiments at its core, but, will be one that
appeals to the youth. Will Ranveer or Arjun
agree for this one? Well, time will only tell. In
the meantime, stay tuned to BollywoodLife
as we get you all the dope about Aankhen
Chaar right here.
