Varun Dhawan wants to work with Bala director

After the earth-shattering success of his directorial debut Stree in 2018, filmmaker Amar Kaushik faces the audience with his second film Bala. Starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Yami Gautam and Bhumi Pednekar in lead roles, the movie revolves around a man who loses his hair prematurely.

Bala released on 8th November to excellent reviews. Not just the audience, several Bollywood celebrities who watched the film at a special screening have tons of positive things to say about it. At the special screening of Bala, actor Varun Dhawan said that he would like to collaborate with Amar Kaushik on a film.


“I love Amar as a director. He is someone with whom I would like to work in the future. I think Bala’s trailer is really unique and the film has really good actors like Saurabh Shukla, Javed Jaffrey, Yami Gautam, and Bhumi Pednekar — and Ayushmann is obviously wonderful,” said Varun.

“I think this film was made because of Amar Kaushik’s receding hairline,” Varun joked, before adding, “This problem exists all around the world. It is something that people should not run away from. I think what is great about Bala is that you (the makers of the film) are taking on the problem head-on and making sure that people don’t feel embarrassed by it. Ayushmann is doing really good work at the moment. Right now, he is in Banaras, and I wish that his film does really well, so that the industry makes lots of money and this man (Dinesh Vijan) can invest that money in my film.”

Meanwhile, Varun Dhawan is busy shooting for his next film Coolie No. 1. As the title suggests itself, the movie is an official remake of the 1995 cult comedy of the same name. Directed by David Dhawan, Coolie No. 1 also stars Sara Ali Khan in the lead role. It releases on 1st May, 2020.
