Deepika and Varun in The Fault In Our Stars remake




Director Homi Adajania, producer Dinesh Vijan and Fox Star Studios are all set for the Hindi adaptation of the Hollywood film The Fault In Our Stars. A little birdie chirped that the film might star Deepika Padukone and Varun Dhawan in the lead roles. If this is true, this will be the third film that will bring Homi and Deepika together after the successful Cocktail and Finding Fanny. A hat-trick in the offing for the maker and his favourite heroine. The film will also bring Varun and Deepika together for the first time.

About the film:

The Fault in Our Stars is a 2014 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Josh Boone, based on the novel of the same name by John Green. The film stars Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort, and Nat Wolff, with Laura Dern, Sam Trammell, and Willem Dafoe playing supporting roles. Woodley plays Hazel Grace Lancaster, a sixteen-year-old cancer patient who is forced by her parents to attend a support group, where she subsequently meets and falls in love with Augustus Waters, portrayed by Ansel Elgort.

Oh god no 😆

It's a teenage film, if they insist on adults at least cast ones that will look good together. Varun is short and would look odd with Deepika.

Varun and Alia would be better, or since the director likes Deepika, pair her up with Sushant or ARK

Deepika and varun would look odd together. And isn't deepika too old to play a 16 year old gal?
I wish they had casted alia or parineeti instead.

Pari or Alia will be better for the casting ! We have already seen Pari in those looks in HTP ! Both of them cant act and they look good with the younger generation !
But whoever is going to do it , will garner appreciation from the critics

What an odd pairing

And how many movies are there for Varun Dhawan? Every other thread mentioning he is doing this and that.

But as per article, its only dp who is doing it as director likes to work with her only. Hope someone else is casted instead of Varun.

Bhatt in the female lead, as both the actors shared a crackling chemistry in Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania' and registered good numbers at the Box Office too.

Reportedly, Finding Fanny' director Homi Adajania has been roped in to direct the remake of Hollywood blockbuster movie.

I doubt this is true as Deepika is busy with BM next year. Also DP & Varun is pretty odd pairing. FIYS may have teen characters but it does not mean it cannot be adapted to 20 yr ols something storyline. I still think it will be Alia/ Shraddha with Varun.

Um! Hell Effin' NO! It needs to be 2 people that look like their are 16 yrs old. Can we please just cast new people that are age appropriate. BW is going to mess this movie up so much. This casting is so wrong.
