After garnering acclaim for their performance in Badlapur, Varun Dhawan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui are set to collaborate on the big screen once again for the remake of Ittefaq produced by Shah Rukh Khan.
Like Badlapur, this time too, the duo will star in a thriller, a remake of Yash Chopra's iconic Ittefaq - which starred Rajesh Khanna. Varun Dhawan will reportedly reprise Rajesh Khanna's character of a passionate painter while Nawazuddin Siddiqui will play a police officer.
