Watching your favourite stars in a movie is always fun, but how about if they double the fun for you? Yes, actors playing a double role in Bollywood films is nothing new. While it pushes the actors to show their versatility, it also gives the audience a chance to get the extra slice of cheese. The next actor who is carrying forward the dual role legacy forward is Varun Dhawan whose next release is Judwaa 2. In this remake which originally starred Salman Khan, Karisma Kapoor and Rambha, Varun will be seen playing the role of Raja and Prem.
So, ahead of its release, here’s a look back at 5 Bollywood actors who braved the double role challenge in recent times.
Arjun Kapoor:

Arjun Kapoor recently impressed the audiences with his double role as Karan and Charan Singh in Mubarakan. Directed by Anees Bazmee, it featured Arjun as Karan, who was born and brought up in London, while Charan was born and brought up in Punjab. Playing a double role has not always been a fun ride and Arjun too had to face some difficulties while shooting his part. Talking about the same, the actor was once quoted as saying:
It’s definitely not easy. It is difficult. But, it’s a challenge you look forward to as an actor. That’s what excites you, makes you nervous and work harder because you are not just playing, but two and especially with comedy… With ‘Mubarakan’ being a comedy there is a definite new situation for me
