Aanand Rai picks Varun Dhawan for new film

Aanand L. Rai, whose last film Zero did not make waves at the box office, is looking to redeem himself with his next project.

Even though Aanand Rai’s Zero failed to wow the box office, the director has no plans to stop doing what he believes in.

He is already planning his next film, which will star Varun Dhawan. According to sources close to the project, it will be “something that neither Varun nor Aanand L Rai have attempted before.”

Varun has previously said that he would like to do at least one unconventional film every year, along the lines of Sriram Raghavan’s Badlapur and Shoojit Sircar’s October. Both these films got him immense critical glory.

Varun’s father, filmmaker David Dhawan says, “I’ve told Varun to do roles that challenge him as an actor, with directors who tap his resources. He can do all the masala stuff with me.”
