Villain confirmed for ‘Judwaa 2’

With lots being reported about ‘Judwaa 2’, its now been confirmed that Vivan Bhatena will play the villain in the Varun Dhawan comedy.

The film will start production in February, and according to Mumbai Mirror, Bhathena, who briefly featured in ‘Dangal’ (2016) as a wrestler, said, “David sir saw me in Nikkhil sir’s (Nikkhil Advani) Hero and told Mukesh (Mukesh Chhabra, casting director) that he wanted me for Judwaa 2. He praised my work in the earlier film when we met at a party at Salman sir’s (Salman Khan) farmhouse. He has shown a lot of faith in me.” The actor had to gain 10kg for his role to portray a wrestler.

He continued to comment on his role, “I play a stylish villain who’s lean and smart. Aalim Hakim has given me a new hairstyle and we are also considering adding a few tattoos to my body. David sir wanted someone as tough who could take on the macho, muscular Varun and believes I suit the part.”

He will be in London around April for some shooting and when asked if he will be able to serenade Jacqueline Fernandes and Taapsee Pannu in the film, he said “I doubt it but nothing’s impossible.”
