What Judwaa 2 Varun Dhawan Tweeted About 'Judwaa 1' Salman Khan

New Delhi: Varun Dhawan's Judwaa 2, a remake of Salman Khan's 1997 blockbuster Judwaa, hit the screens today. Ahead of the film's release, Varun, who earlier dedicated the film to the 51-year-old superstar, tweeted a picture of himself with Salman and wrote, "I'm not influenced from any Hollywood actor but influenced by Salman Khan. Thank you for being my Raja and Prem. the film is yours now." 20 years later, Varun stepped into the shoes of Salman and brought back the iconic characters - Raja and Prem - but Judwaa 2, according to critics, doesn't match up to Salman's film. Despite the same story plot and director, the film opened to poor reviews. Both Judwaa films are directed by David Dhawan, Varun's father.

Here's the picture shared by Vaun.

Of Judwaa 2, Varun earlier said, "This film wouldn't be possible without Salman bhai. 20 years back he made Raja and Prem iconic, he is the original Raja/Prem and will always be the original. I hope he likes the film whenever he watches it." Salman has a cameo in Judwaa 2 and the revamped version of the hit songs - Oonchi Hai Building and Tan Tana Tan are also there.
