David Dhawan Reveals Surprising Details About Varun Dhawan’s Acting Journey and No Entry 2
In his recent outing on Arbaaz Khan’s show, Varun’s father, filmmaker David Dhawan spoke about his son’s journey as an actor, when he claimed that he had no idea the ‘Bhediya’ star has an interest in films and aspires to be an actor.
“He was studying abroad he came back. We never talked about films. All of a sudden he approached Karan Johar and assisted him My Name is Khan,” he told Khan.
David continued, “One day, Karan comes home and tells me he wants to launch him [with Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra, in Student of The Year].”
“They did a photo shoot for him and Sidharth in Goa. They looked so young, so youthful,” the filmmaker added, before he revealed, “Some days, he used to be very upset…”
Speaking about the reason, he explained, “These things happen in a two-hero film. I said, ‘Son, you’re damn good, your confidence is something else. Just remember one thing, kandhe pe pair rakh aur kud ja (step on the shoulder and jump). That is your success. Darna nahi hain (Don’t be afraid)’.”
