Varun Dhawan Is Ready to Work Under Ekta Kapoor’s Banner

Varun Dhawan, who made his debut with Karan Johar’s ‘Student Of The Year’ in 2012, is all set for a bigger career boost this year. Producer Ekta Kapoor shelled out 2 crore for the Hindi remake rights of a Telugu blockbuster, which she’s making with the youngster under the aegis of his filmmaker father, David Dhawan. Interestingly, a number of producers and actors were vying for its rights, but Ekta, being the determined producer she is, stayed back down South till she closed the deal.

Kapoor shelled out 2 crores for the Hindi remake rights of a Telugu blockbuster, which she’s making with the youngster and is also teaming up with the Junior Dhawan’s father David Dhawan for this venture.

“An established actor wouldn’t get the youth and the young girls’ craze that we want. Varun is like a young Salman Khan, he fits the bill perfectly. He’s comfortable with humor, his acting is very good and he’s a wonderful dancer, too.”

Ekta is optimistic that Varun will set a trend with his attitude and style. “And besides Ranbir Kapoor, no other young actor is being emulated. Varun will surely be the next,” she asserts. Equally positive is David, who feels this is a wonderful movie for his younger son. He says, “Varun is a very aggressive actor, he has that passion and goes all out with his performances. He’s a good dancer, good in romantic scenes and convincing in emotional parts. In short, he delivers all that is expected of a Hindi film hero.”
