MUMBAI: Varun Dhawan has earned the reputation of being one of the most bankable stars in the industry. The actor has an impressive box-office record right from his debut film and is yet to experience a box-office failure during his 7 year career in Bollywood.
Sara Ali Khan on the other hand has kicked off her Bollywood journey in similar fashion by delivering two back to back hits. A report in a leading daily has now claimed that the two actors will soon be sharing screen space in their next project.
The report reveals that Varun and Sara will star in the remake of the cult comedy Coolie No.1 which originally starred Govinda and Karisma Kapoor. A source close to the project revealed, “Varun and Sara will share screen space in the former’s first home production. It will be directed by David Dhawan, who had also helmed the original. This will be the first film to roll out under their banner The One Entertainment. The team wanted a new jodi for the comedy and the Dhawans felt Sara would be apt for it.”
The source also said that Sara was offered the part before the release of her debut film Kedarnath. The source further added, “They were in talks for some time and had approached her even before Kedarnath hit the marquee. The idea is to adapt the original and modernise it. The 23-year-old will step into Karisma’s shoes, but the makers are changing the character sketch a bit and making it even more prominent in the remake.
Recently, on a chat show, Sara revealed that she dreams of seeing herself on the big screen with Varun Dhawan. Well, it looks like that will happen sooner rather than later.
