Varun Dhawan is all set to start shooting for Judwaa 2, the sequel to the Salman Khan hit Judwaa which released 20 years ago. Confirming the project, Varun said, Judwaa 2 will start in January 2017. “We need time to work on the script and my look. My double role should be unlike anything seen so far,” says the actor, adding that the superhit song from the Salman-starrer will be a part of the sequel as well. “Tan tana tan will definitely feature in the film. It will be interesting to see how the audience reacts to me dancing to that song. I’ve been dancing to it since childhood. It’s like a dream come true for me to do that song.”
This would be Varun’s first double role of his career. “It’s going to be a completely new experience for me. Luckily I have David Dhawan directing me. He is the master of double roles. And he is also my dad,” he says with a smile. So how unique would the double role in Judwaa 2 be? “I have to get nuances of the two characters I’m playing in place. Like Salman in the original Judwaa, I play twin brothers. But it will be very different from the way he played it. We are going to change the clothes and the way the brothers talk.”
Varun feels his father needn’t hurry through assignments at this juncture. “He has the highest success ratio among Bollywood directors. Now he can afford to take it easy. Yes, he has done a lot of work but those were different times. Today I can’t work the same way as he did and neither can he. One has to change with the times.”
