After dating each other for several years, Varun Dhawan and his longtime girlfriend Natasha Dalal walked down the aisle in Alibaug on Sunday 24th January. Some of their wedding pictures have already sent the internet into a meltdown, while another set of pictures is expected to be out soon.
After a private wedding ceremony, which saw the attendance of only close family members and friends, the newlywed couple is reportedly planning to throw a grand reception party for their friends and the film fraternity on 2nd February.
Sharing more details, a source tells a leading publication, “There is continuous movement of decoration items being taken in and out of the venue. There will be a baraat (wedding) procession but within the boundaries of the venue. Varun is planning to step out of the private villa to pose for pictures after the wedding rituals. The wedding menu comprises fare from Lebanese, Mexican and Indian cuisines. A reception party is being planned for the couple’s friends and the film fraternity for February 2 at a suburban five-star in Mumbai.”
As far as their honeymoon destination is concerned, some media outlets report that the couple is planning to head off to Turkey for the same. However, nobody from the family has officially confirmed the same.
On the work front, Varun Dhawan next stars in Dharma Productions romcom Jug Jugg Jeeyo. The film also has Kiara Advani, Anil Kapoor, and Neetu Kapoor on its ensemble cast. Raj Mehta, who previously helmed Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Kiara Advani, and Diljit Dosanjh’s Good Newwz (2019), is directing the project.

Mukerji parts ways with YRF’s Dhoom 4 after reported creative disagreements.
Decision said to be amicable, with Aditya Chopra and Ranbir Kapoor supportive.
Director shifts focus to Brahmastra: Part Two – Dev, expected to begin filming in 2026.
Filmmaker steps away from YRF’s action franchise
Filmmaker Ayan Mukerji has stepped away from Yash Raj Films’ (YRF) highly anticipated action project Dhoom 4, reportedly due to creative differences. According to Bollywood Hungama, Mukerji’s vision for the film did not align with the studio’s direction, prompting him to withdraw from the project.
Mukerji, who was in discussions to direct the next instalment of the hit franchise—expected to star Ranbir Kapoor—was said to have limited control over the script, which was reportedly written by Shridhar Raghavan. The director, best known for Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Brahmastra, was keen on shaping the film creatively rather than simply executing an existing plan.
A source quoted in the report said, “Ayan didn’t have much say in the screenplay and didn’t want to embark on another journey of just execution.”
Amicable parting after discussions with Aditya Chopra
Before stepping away, Mukerji is believed to have held several discussions with YRF head Aditya Chopra and actor Ranbir Kapoor. Both reportedly supported his decision, with insiders describing the split as “completely amicable.”
The director’s departure does not mark the end of Dhoom 4, as YRF plans to continue with the project under a new director. The studio may also reconsider casting options, despite earlier reports that Ranbir Kapoor had set aside dates for the film.
Focus returns to the Brahmastra universe
Following his exit from Dhoom 4, Mukerji has shifted attention back to his passion project—the Brahmastra series. The filmmaker is currently developing Brahmastra: Part Two – Dev, the sequel to the 2022 fantasy epic.
The film, initially expected to begin production earlier, is now likely to go on floors in 2026. Sources suggest Mukerji intends to expand the Astraverse with more depth in storytelling, combining elements of mythology, drama, and spectacle.
