Let's face it, Judwaa is a classic 90s movie. The Salman Khan starrer had every ingredient for a blockbuster – music, dance, romance, punch dialogues, action and well, David Dhawan. The ultimate king of comedy put together this masterpiece.
But will the same equation work in 2017? Dhawan returned with a similar tadka with Main Tera Hero and the audience loved it. Now, the master himself is looking to replicate his classic with son Varun Dhawan and it looks like a blockbuster in making.

With Judwaa 2's trailer released, it is evident that Dhawan has restored most of the elements. The songs by Anu Malik, a few iconic scenes, the drama have foud their way to the movie. But, what about the cast?
Judwaa was a super hit because of the iconic characters. Who can forget a lisped (totla) Shakti Kapoor or the detective Kader Khan's brother-in-law played by Tiku Talsania, and the hilarious Anupam Kher and Satish Shah combination. While David Dhawan has retained Kher in the movie, there are a number of new-age actors and actresses in the film. Here is a look at the new-age replacements director Dhawan has found to replicate the magic.
Varun Dhawan:
Recreating Salman from the 90s, Varun plays the double role of Prem and Raja.
Jacqueline Fernandez:
The "A Gentleman" star will recreate the bubbly Karishma Kapoor's role in the remake.
Taapsee Pannu:
After giving a powerful performance in Naam Shabana, Taapsee will be seen in the shoes of Rambha in her one of most glamorous avatars yet.
Anupam Kher:
After playing the hilarious cop from Judwaa, Dhawan has taken Kher on board for the remake. However, this time he is donning the cap of Kader Khan-- Jacqueline's father, according to the trailer.
Atul Parchure:
