Jacqueline Fernandez says she was under pressure to step into Karisma Kapoor's shoes for the sequel of the 1997 film Judwaa. In the original, Salman Khan played the double role of Raja and Prem, while Karisma and Rambha played the leading ladies.


The second outing has Jacqueline and Taapsee Pannu in the lead opposite Varun Dhawan. "I feel blessed to be a part of this film. I have worked with the Dhawans — Rohit Dhawan and David Dhawan (directors) and Varun and they are the most amazing and wonderful people. The 1997 film had Karsima Kapoor and I play her part. So the pressure was high as she is a fantastic actress. I hope I have made David sir proud with my work," Jacqueline said at the trailer launch of the sequel.


The actor says she watched Judwaa quite a few times. Talking about working with David, Jacqueline says, "You make sure you do justice and give your best. I have followed David sir's instructions."
