Spark is not like java's JDBC APIs where we need wrap string with single quotes for where condition. Can you simple try using name variable w/o any quotes and $ sign

    var name="abcd"
    var last_name="xyz"
    val df3 = df1.join(df2, df1("id") === df2("id"))
    .filter(df1("name")===name && df1("last_name")===last_name)
    .drop(df1("name"))
    .drop(df2("name"))
