No Deepika for Varun Dhawan in October!

Ever since Varun Dhawan signed Shoojit Sircar's next, titled October, conjectures around who would be the main actress in the film. Since Deepika Padukone had lately expressed her desire to again work with Shoojit Sircar after their successful alliance in Piku, rumours were widespread that Varun would be seen romancing Padukone.

But, as per a tabloid, these news are imaginary. A source close to the team repudiated the news to the tabloid and informed, "The film revolves around Varun’s character. Primarily, the heroine’s role isn’t too lengthy in terms of screen time. So, I don’t think Deepika will be taking it up."

But, there is no official pronouncement on the same yet from either the filmmaker or the actress.

Speaking about October, Varun had pronounced the movie's release date lately on Twitter. He shared, "Super excited for this new journey! @OctoberTheMovie, my first alliance with @shoojitsircar da releases on 1st June, 2018. @ronnielahiri."

Seemingly, the movie will be a dark thriller written by Juhi Chaturvedi of Piku fame. A source said the tabloid, "The actor and the filmmaker have been in discussions for a while and have finally locked the script. Varun has loved what Shoojit has envisioned. It’s not another light-hearted, feel-good film. Rather, it’s quite dark. And more than dark, it’s heartbreaking. Varun will start shooting for this as-yet untitled film once he’s done with Judwaa 2."


The source added later, "In fact, Shoojit absolutely loved Varun in Badlapur and felt that he’s one of those young actors who can take up a film of this genre and still make it entertaining. Expect this one to be a notch higher. Varun has taken risks in the past and they have worked well for him and he’s extremely confident about pulling this one off as well."
