The remake of ‘Coolie No. 1’ will mark the second collaboration of father-son duo Varun and David Dhawan after ‘Judwaa 2‘.
Varun had his last release ‘Kalank‘ last week, which is not doing good at the box office and striving to survive. While Sara was last seen in the last blockbuster of 2018 ‘Simmba’ opposite Ranveer Singh.
