Varun Dhawan first collaborated with his father, acclaimed director David Dhawan in Main Tera Hero (2014) in which he shared screen space with Ileana D’Cruz and Nargis Fakhri. Last year, the father-son jodi returned with a smashing hit in the form of Judwaa 2 that was a remake of the 1997 hit action-comedy starring Salman Khan, Karisma Kapoor, and Rambha. For the unversed, both Judwaas were directed by David himself. Now, as reported by a leading daily, the Dhawans are teaming up yet again for a third comedy film which is currently in the scripting stage and will most probably roll out next year. Apparently, the comedy film will take the No.1 series helmed by Dhawan Sr. forward.

The daily reported, “Impressed with Varun’s performance in one of his upcoming films, David wanted to collaborate with his son again for an out-and-out comedy for which he has already begun pre-production and frequent meetings with technicians. However, this one isn’t a remake like Judwaa 2 but an original script that will revive David’s No 1 series.” The 31-year-old actor is also keen to reunite with his dad. They are looking forward to creating a hattrick at the box office as their first two collaborations were blockbusters.

David has had a string of super hits with his No.1 series and it began with the Govinda and Karisma Kapoor starrer Coolie No.1 and was followed by more hits including Hero No. 1 with Govinda and Karisma, Biwi No. 1 with Salman and Karisma. This was followed by Jodi No.1 with Sanjay Dutt and Govinda and Shaadi No.1 with Sanjay, Fardeen Khan, and Zayed Khan. The daily reported that David and Varun are hoping to recreate the magic with this film which is expected to go on floors next year. The rest of the cast will be put in place once the scripting process is done.

Varun has emerged as one of the top actors from the younger generation as most of his films have gone on to becomes superhits at the box office. The actor has many lucrative projects at hands such as Dharma’s period-drama Kalank which is being directed by Abhishek Varman in which he will star opposite Alia Bhatt, Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit, Sonakshi Sinha, Kunal Kemmu and Aditya Roy Kapur. He also has ABCD 3 with Katrina Kaif helmed by Remo D’Souza. Varun will also be seen in Shashank Khaitan’s film Rannbhoomi.

Currently, VD is promoting YRF's Sui Dhaaga opposite Anushka Sharma.
