Varun arrests attention with the first look poster of October

There is no denying the fact that within a very short span of time Varun Dhawan has established himself as one of the most sought-after actors that we have today in Bollywood. Since the time he made his acting debut with Karan Johar's college romance drama, Student Of The Year in 2012, he has not delivered a single unsuccessful film.

The audience just loves to see Varun on screen. Last seen in his father David Dhawan's blockbuster comic-caper, Judwaa 2, Junior Dhawan is now gearing up for the release of his next movie, October. Today, the makers of the hotly anticipated movie unveiled its first look poster which inflamed the internet within hours of going online.


In the first look poster of October, we can see Varun lost in the world of his own. The poster has generated a massive response from the audience. Now it remains to be seen if this rousing response translates into footfall on 13th April when the movie releases in theatres.

Produced by Ronnie Lahiri and Sheel Kumar, October also stars Banita Sandhu in the lead role. It is a Shoojit Sircar directorial.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
