David Dhawan makes shocking revelation, claims Varun Dhawan was upset on working with...

David Dhawan recently talked about his Varun Dhawan's journey and made some shocking revelations about his debut film Student of the Year. He recalled the time when Karan Johar flew Varun and his co-star Sidharth Malhotra to Goa for a photo shoot for their debut film. 

He said that Varun was unhappy about sharing the screen with Sidharth Malhotra. He appeared on Arbaaz Khan’s show The Invincibles Series and said, “He was studying abroad; he came back. We never talked about films. All of a sudden he approached Karan Johar and assisted him for My Name is Khan. The cinematographer, Ravi K Chandran, noticed him mouthing dialogues and told Karan, you must watch this boy. One day, Karan comes home and tells me he wants to launch him.”

Varun Dhawan made his debut with the 2012 college drama Student of the Year (SOTY), which also marked the debut of Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra. He said, “They did a photo shoot for him and Sidharth in Goa. They looked so young, so youthful. Some days, he used to be very upset…these things happen in a two-hero film. I said, son, you’re damn good, your confidence is something else. Just remember one thing, kandhe pe pair rakh aur kud ja (step on the shoulder and jump). That is your success. Darna nahi hain (Don’t be afraid).”

Earlier, in an episode of Koffee With Karan 8, Sidharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan graced the couch and made some spicy revelations. In the episode, the host spilled the tea about both the actor not willing to cast Alia Bhatt in Student of The Year and kept sending him images of other actresses. 

Karan Johar revealed that when Alia Bhatt came to the set of Student of The Year, both Varun and Sidharth started messaging him, "you can't cast her." He further revealed that later, after the first photoshoot, they knew she was fit for the role of Shanaya. 

Karan said, “One of you said she is too young. I am saying it started like this but when we shot with her, 3 months post that for a photo shoot, I remember she stood quiet and didn’t look at either of you. Either she was conscious or shy because you all already knew me. She didn’t know me at all. We did the photo shoot, and right after that, I mean, I knew at the first shot.”

To this, Varun Dhawan replied, "Ya even I knew.” Reacting instantly and amusingly, Karan added with a laugh, “Stop pretending! What rubbish are you talking Varun? You kept sending me images of other girls, you didn’t want me to cast her.” To which a sheepish Varun replied, “No no… I didn’t know her!” Sidhath then added, "But see, that was what was wonderful that she was the underdog within the underdogs here already and then she emerged." 

Student of The Year marked the debut of Varun Dhawan, Sidharth Malhotra, and Alia Bhatt. The film was directed by Karan Johar and was one of the hits.
