After steeping into Salman’s shoes for Judwaa 2 it seems that Varun Dhawan would now be stepping into the shoes of the inimitable, king of comedy Govinda.

Yes, it has been speculated that Varun Dhawan, who is an unabashed Govinda fan, would be reprising his role in the sequel of David Dhawan’s 1993 blockbuster Aankhen.

Earlier it was speculated that Govinda and Chunky Pandey would be reprising their original characters of Bunnu and Munnu  in the sequel but  now the core cast of Bunnu and Munnu has passed on to two youngsters where Varun would be playing Govinda’s character and Chunky Pandey’s role will go to a newcomer whom producer Pahlaj Nihalani discovered on a flight.

Though Govinda and Chunky haven’t been retained in the sequel, they are said to have a guest appearance in the film.

While an official announcement is awaited but a close source reveals “Aankhen 2 will take the story forward. The main characters Bunnu and Munnu will remain the same but the actors will change.”

Aankhen was a David Dhawan action-com directorial, which featured 2 Govinda’s 2 Kadar Khan’s 1 Chunky and 1 Monkey which did wonders at the ticket counter way back in 1993.

Let’s see how the new story with new characters performs at the box-office. I am sure David Dhawan would yet again succeed in tickling the funny bones of the viewers .
