For Andaz Apna Apna 2, the actor confessed that he is also looking forward to the sequel of the cult classic film, which also starred Salman Khan.

As for Lalkaar, he responded, "Let's see what happens. If we have an official announcement, I will tell you about the film…because every film is a process. And if you say something quickly, and if it doesn't happen, it doesn't seem good. When things are ready, and they're completely final, we will keep everything in front of you."

On the professional front, Aamir Khan was last seen in the family entertainer film, Sitaare Zameen Par, which garnered positive reviews from critics and audiences.
