Varun Dhawan to join forces with Aanand L Rai?

Varun Dhawan is undeniably one of the most successful actors in Bollywood. Ever since making his acting debut with Karan Johar’s Student Of The Year in 2012, he has not delivered a single flop in his career. And it is nothing but his enviable track-record that keeps him always in demand.

Dhawan is presently juggling two projects – Dharma Productions’ period drama Kalank and T-Series Films’ Street Dancer. The latest we hear that the actor might soon another interesting project to his repertoire.


Buzz has it that Varun is in talks with renowned filmmaker Aanand L Rai for his next directorial offering after Zero (2018). It is believed that the actor will commence working on the yet-to-be-titled film right after completing the Remo D’souza directorial Street Dancer.

Besides his ongoing projects, Varun is also committed to a film with Shashank Khaitan. Rumours are also rife that the October (2017) actor is set to headline the remake of Govinda and Karisma Kapoor’s blockbuster comic-caper Coolie No. 1 (1995).

It will be really interesting to see these two creative forces team up for the very first time.
