Judwaa 2 is that, 'listen to your dad (director David Dhawan) and don't be over smart'," Varun told PTI. The 29-year-actor actor says he was a kid when
Judwaa released and remembers his first meeting with Salman at a special screening of the film. "I just remember watching
Judwaa in the theatre during a special screening and meeting Salman Khan for the first time. I don't remember much as I was small."

tapori. "It is sad that we don't make films on
taporis anymore. There will be a big change in the character of Raja in the sequel. But I would not like to speak much about it. It is far different from what Salman did in the first film," Varun told PTI.
Except for actress Rambha, all lead actors of the original comic caper will be seen in the cameo in the sequel. "I cannot say anything about it right now because I want people to be surprised, especially by Salman Khan's character in
Judwaa 2," he told PTI.
Varun had earlier revealed that
Salman got a box full of baggy denim pants delivered to him, which will help him get into the skin of Raja in the film.
