Shoojit Sircar and Varun Dhawan have
collaborated for the first time with October.
The film also stars newbie Banita Sandhu.
The trailer for October was released last
week. It looks emotional, intense and
beautiful. During the trailer launch, Varun
Dhawan had revealed how he really wanted
to work with Shoojit Sircar.
In an interview with a leading tabloid, the
director shared how the Judwaa 2 actor got
to be a part of the film. He said, "That day I
was rushing to wrap up things before flying
off to Kolkata when Varun called asking if
we could meet. Since he lived in Juhu, I
wondered if he could come over
immediately. He'd just woken up and told
me he was not dressed. I told him not to
bother, we're pretty casual around here."
"For a year we had been auditioning
newcomers for the leading man's role in
October and suddenly there he was in front
of me. Varun looked 20-21 and his eyes
reflected honesty", Shoojit added.
The director also revealed that Varun was
quite happy when he finally got a chance to
work with him. "He was so happy that we'd
be finally working together that he accepted
immediately", shared Shoojit.
In the film, Banita Sandhu's character is
named Shiuli. It is a name of a flower. About
the same, the director revealed, "When Juhi
suggested we name the girl after the flower,
it triggered off more thoughts on love and
what it means."
The trailer for October is beautiful, however,
the audience is left curious as to how
exactly is the love story between Dan and
Shuili. Shoojit even spoke about the trailer
and the reason it was made like this.
He said, "The trailer was designed to
confuse, pique curiosity. It's just a simple
story of a boy and a girl, which has grown
from personal experiences and not any film,
brought to life by the beauty and fluidity of
Juhi's writing."
October is slated to release on April 13,
2018.

Another example of someone who gets movies despite a million flops. Varun is so blah. I used to find him hot and good looking, but not anymore....
