Varun Dhawan, who is currently shooting for 'Judwaa 2' in London, will be seen playing a double role in the film. Like Salman in the 1997-hit 'Judwaa', Varun too will be seen playing two characters that belong to two different sides of the spectrum.

Talking about playing a double role, Varun revealed that his dad, David Dhawan encouraged him to see movies that had actors playing a double role. Varun, as a part of the prep, saw writer-director Gulzar's iconic 'Angoor' and was blown away. The actor was so impressed that he wants to meet Gulzar soon!

Varun said, "I have been watching films that have double roles, and so, I recently saw Angoor. In fact, I have seen it twice. Now, I want to meet Gulzar Saab and ask him about the film and what it was like to direct Sanjeev Kumar and Deven Varma. I want to ask him about the whole set-up, and what they were thinking of when they were making it. It’d be interesting to know the thought behind every great scene in the film."

"It would be very interesting to know how they gave birth to those ideas, and, more interestingly, how they got those ideas in the first place," the actor further added.

Varun, whose last outing earned 100 crores at the box-office, confessed that he is competitive. The 'Badlapur' actor said, "There is nothing wrong with that (being competitive). I am very interested to see what good films are coming up. This year, too, some really nice and entertaining films are up for release. So, I am looking forward to them."

When asked which films is he looking forward to seeing, Varun smiled and added, "As the audience, I am looking forward to watching Sanjay Dutt’s biopic, Salman Khan’s 'Tubelight', 'Baahubali 2: The Conclusion', as well as 'Hindi Medium', 'Meri Pyaari Bindu' and 'Half Girlfriend'."

The actor signed off saying, "These films are looking really cool!"
