Remo D’Souza‘s yet untitled musical featuring Varun Dhawan in lead starts its shooting from today in the seven-day schedule in the fields of Punjab. The movie is produced by Bhushan Kumar, who landed in Amritsar on Tuesday and promptly headed for the Golden Temple. “We’ve got a lot of positive energy from the temple and are now geared up for the shoot. It’s an exciting project for our music label to be associated with, since being a dance film it has scope for a lot of songs. We have 12 in all and Sachin-Jigar’s album will be a mix of original, folk and recreated songs,” an excited Bhushan told a leading daily.
While talking about the first schedule, he told that they will be shooting a Punjabi wedding song, followed by a few emotional sequences featuring Varun and his reel life family. After this, they will fly off to London for a 40-day schedule that begins on February 10. The film opens on November 8. “I’ve known Varun’s father (director David Dhawan) and his brother Rohit for a long time. I share a friendly equation with him as well. Varun has a great sense of script and music, he is involved in every aspect of filmmaking,” stated Bhushan who is producing the film with Remo’s wife, Lizelle D’souza.
Earlier the Varun Dhawan starrer movie was speculated to be part of ABCD franchise but Bhushan confirms that the film is not a part of any franchise and that they will reveal the title soon. “It’s a completely original concept which we are planning to spin into a franchise,” he stated.
After Katrina quit the film as she was occupied with the schedule of Salman Khan starrer periodic drama ‘Bharat’. Varun Dhawan broke the news about Shraddha Kapoor pitching in and she also confirmed the news by saying she is super excited to work with the team again.
