Varun Dhawan’s dance film locks its title and release date

A lot has been said and written about young Bollywood star Varun Dhawan’s next dance film with choreographer-turned-filmmaker Remo D’souza. While some media outlets reported that the untitled movie is a sequel to the hit dance film franchise ABCD, others thought it to be a standalone film.

Today, the makers put all speculations to rest by not just unveiling the first look poster of the flick, but also its title. The Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor starrer has been titled Street Dancer.


Varun, who is known for his electric dance movies, took to his Twitter handle earlier today to release the first look of the film. Flaunting his chiselled look along with unrivalled swag, Dhawan is seen mid-air with his legs crossed.

Aside from dropping the first look of the film, the star also revealed the release date of the same. Street Dancer, which reunites Varun and Shraddha with Remo D’souza after their 2015 hit ABCD 2, will buzz into theatres on 8th November, 2019.

The first schedule of the film was wrapped up last week in Amritsar, Punjab. The next schedule of the dance flick is planned to be shot in London. The team will soon land in London to begin the shoot from 10th February.

Besides Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor, Street Dancer also features Prabhudeva, Nora Fatehi, Shakti Mohan and Aparshakti Khurana, to name just a few actors. It is produced by Bhushan Kumar.
