In a recent interview, director David Dhawan said that his actor-son Varun is too busy to work with him. What’s more the 59-year-old filmmaker, who directed his son Varun in film ‘Main Tera Hero’, further said that he feels proud the way Varun-Alia starrer ‘Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania’ has shaped his son’s career graph in the film industry.
“I will work with him (Varun) but in 2016. He is already busy doing films. He is going to start in Rohit’s (Dhawan’s elder son) film soon. Rohit will direct him for his yet untitled project,” Dhawan said.
It’s noted that Varun made his Bollywood debut in filmmaker Karaj Johar’s 2012 film ‘Student Of The Year’. Talking about it, David termed Varun’s mentor Karan Johar as his ‘first father’ and said, “Karan (Johar) is the first father and I am his second father. Varun has come from a right banner and if you talk to me. I am happy as a father. I am a filmmaker who has made so many films. But Varun began by working with Karan and that makes him what he is today. God bless Karan for nurturing young talents.”
Unlike Varun, Dhawan’s elder son Rohit is following in on his father’s footsteps in filmmaking.Rohit is currently gearing up for his second directorial venture which has actors John Abraham, Jacqueline Fernandez and Varun in the lead roles, while his directorial debut was ‘Desi Boyz’.
When asked about Rohit, David replied saying, “He (Rohit) is a newcomer. He has produced three movies and another two are in the pipeline. Everything looks very nice. But Rohit has to work hard. I am very happy as a father, rest God is there to look after my kids.”
