Varun Dhawan on his directorial plans

Varun Dhawan’s latest offering ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’ releases today but if you that acting is the be all and end all for him, you’d be sadly mistaken. The actor is indeed readying himself for direction, BizAsiaLive.com can reveal.

Dhawan has two directors in his family already in his father and brother. However, this hasn’t stopped him from having his own aspirations. He told Ahmedabad Mirror, “I have two directors at home and take their honest opinions really seriously. Maybe these screenplays did not measure up. But I also feel that the storylines were not to their taste and style of filmmaking.”

Dhawan has been talking to Karan Johar, his father and folks not associated to the fraternity about the film. He goes on to add, “Now I am working towards writing something far darker, the kind of film I’ve always wanted to do and I want to produce it too, maybe act in it as well… I usually sum up the crux of the plot and share it with them in a two-line brief to gauge their reaction”.

Dhawan did a course in filmmaking and says he often recorded films on his phone but he wants to direct a feature film at some point in the future.
