Its been a while since 'Judwaa 2' (J2) has been in news. Various rumours were doing the rounds taking its casting and host of other things. Finally it is confirmed that David Dhawan will direct his son, the young heartthrob Varun Dhawan in this formidable franchise, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. As a matter of fact, this will be Varun's first double role.

According to our sources, the pre-production work on the new entertainer is in full swing. A couple of look tests have already happened in Lod Angeles. A major Hollywood studio and DOP (director of photography) along with action-coordinator Spiro Razatos (of Fast & Furious 6 fame), have already done a test shoot for the film. A skydiving action sequence, using a stand-in artiste to depict a double role, was shot.

Now that initial rumours surrounding J2 have been laid to rest, fresh speculations are rife on who will be the two lucky girls cast opposite Varun. We are very eager for this one...

Incidentally, the first 'Judwaa', starring Salman Khan, Karisma Kapoor and Rambha, released 19 years ago.
