Talking about the box office collections of Varun Dhawan starrer, Girish was quoted saying to Indian Express that Judwaa 2 is likely to cross a collection of Rs 50 crore in the opening weekend itself.

“The advance booking for ‘Judwaa 2’ had started on Monday and in some places on Tuesday and the film is getting a fantastic response. I think people are looking forward to seeing Varun Dhawan enacting one of Salman Khan’s famous roles. I assume the film will make as much as Rs 15 crore on the first day. Since the holiday seasons are on, ‘Judwaa 2’ has all the possibilities of crossing the Rs 50 crore mark on Sunday. With Monday being an extended holiday, we can expect the film to do better. It has all the possibilities,” said Girish Johar.

Indeed, hopes are high from the movie and if the media reports turned out to be true Judwaa 2 will become Varun Dhawan’s second hit film this year after Badrinath Ki Dulhania.

Helmed by David Dhawan, Judwaa 2 also stars Taapsee Pannu, Jacqueline Fernandez, Rajpal Yadav in key roles.
