A twin-win situation
Salman Khan, David Dhawan and Sajid Nadiadwala get ready to make Judwaa 2. Kareena Kapoor might play one of the lead actresses
Salman Khan is finally ready to play the quirky Raja and the sober Prem in the sequel to his 1997 hit Judwaa. The actor has given his nod to team up once again with director David Dhawan and producer Sajid Nadiadwala for the sequel to the twin-comedy only after he was completely convinced with the script.
So far the idea of a sequel to Judwaa had been quelled mainly because the story ideas did not appeal to Salman. Now, David has finally come up with an idea that the team feels is worth pursuing.
Producer Sajid says, "We've been going back and forth with David on the story of Judwaa's sequel for years. Since Judwaa released there have been innumerable films about twins and their adventures, so films about twin heroes had become stale. Before making Judwaa 2 we first had to make sure the plot not only went further than the first Judwaa but also goes beyond all the other double-role films that have come lately."
Fact of the matter is that double roles have not been doing well lately. Sajid says, "We've gone back to the story board repeatedly to ensure Judwaa has very high novelty value."
"David is working on giving Salman's character a special new spin. We'll give the two Salmans a very different look and the story moves ten years ahead but Salman is still as boyish as he used to be," adds Sajid.

Judwaa 2 won't feature either Karisma Kapoor or Rambha who were lead actresses in the first film.
But yes, Kareena Kapoor is being considered to star in the sequel.
