Salman’s high hopes from ‘Judwaa 2’

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan quipped at the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Weekend and Awards that Varun Dhawan’s "Judwaa 2" could take the success of Indian cinema to the next level globally.

While chatting about how having the IIFA celebrations in New York could push the industry’s global visibility, Varun told the media here: "Indian cinema is on the global map now with ‘Dangal’ and ‘Bahubali’ doing so well… In fact, ‘Bahubali’ has done a lot of business in North America."

That’s when Salman promptly said: "’Judwaa 2′ is going to take it to the next level."

"Judwaa 2" is a sequel to the 1997 Salman starrer "Judwaa", and also features Jacqueline Fernandez and Taapsee Pannu.

Asked about the pressure of stepping into Salman’s shoes, Varun said: "We just shot a scene together, but we can’t talk about it."
