Varun Dhawan denies rumours of toplining brother’s next

Varun Dhawan, who won loads of appreciation and adulation for his impassioned performance in the Shoojit Sircar directorial October (2018), has a lot of exciting projects on his plate. Recently, there were rumours that the Student Of The Year (2012) actor has also signed his brother Rohit Dhawan’s next after starring in his last hit Dishoom (2016) alongside John Abraham.

However, Varun has denied rumours that he is reteaming with brother to headline his next directorial venture. An Indian daily reports that though the movie was offered to Junior Dhawan, he could not take it up due to his busy schedule.


“No, I am not in my brother’s next film. He’s making it with an entirely different cast. We don’t have to work together in every film. I wasn’t in his first film Desi Boyz (2011) either. In fact, I’ve only done one film with him, Dishoom, and I had a ball. We’ll work together soon, but not on his next film.”

Varun is currently shooting for Abhishek Verman’s period drama Kalank and Sharat Katariya’s Sui Dhaaga. The other projects in his pocket include Shashank Khaitan’s war drama Rannbhoomi and an untitled movie with Remo D’souza.

Water demand sparks questions around shoot logistics

The upcoming pan-Indian film Varanasi, directed by S. S. Rajamouli and starring Mahesh Babu, has reportedly run into a logistical challenge ahead of a key shooting schedule. According to reports, the production team sought a substantial number of water tankers for an underwater sequence being prepared at a specially constructed set near Gaganpahad in Hyderabad.

It is claimed that around 150 tankers, each carrying 10,000 litres, were requested from the city’s water authorities. However, the request was reportedly turned down due to ongoing summer shortages and increasing demand for drinking water across Hyderabad. There has been no official confirmation from the makers, though the reports have circulated widely online.
