The father-son duo will soon begin work on the sequel to the 1997 hit, Judwaa. “One of the characters that dad has [scripted] for me is going to be masculine and a bit stronger than the roles I have done till now. So, that will be a challenge,” says Varun.

David adds that the two characters his son will essay “will be playing [out] against each other”. “There will be a lot of fun, but loads of emotions too,” says the director.
