For the first time in his entire career as a filmmaker David Dhawan has now decided to go serious as a filmmaker. In what could possibly be a radical career turn-around, David now plans to do a serious (read: non-comedy) film with his son in the lead.
This decision came after seeing his son Varun Dhawan’s upcoming film October, directed by Shoojit Sircar.
David promises to get together with Varun to do something “entirely unexpected , even shocking”.
David Dhawan is one of Bollywood’s most prolific filmmakers, who is popular for his comedy films such as Aankhen, Raja Babu, Hero No. 1, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi and many others. David had remade his previous hit Judwaa with his son Varun as Judwaa 2 last year.
“If Varun can fall so comfortably into my formula in Judwa 2, I can just as easily move away from the formula to create something completely unexpected with Varun,” says David.
