Varun Dhawan on his equation with father David Dhawan

Varun Dhawan is gearing up for his next film ‘Judwaa 2’, which sees him working with father David Dhawan after ‘Main Tera Hero’ (2014).

Asked how he felt about working with Dhawan Senior, Varun told a leading magazine, “It’s tough. I think it’s similar to Main Tera Hero, only then I was so new that I’d feel bad when he would insult me. But now I’m quite cool with it because I’m pretty hardcore myself. That’s what I’ve got from the film business. A thick skin.”

He elaborated, “As much as any 30-year-old listens to their parents. My father is one of the most commercial directors of the last two or three decades, so his advice is often for me to take the most commercial film. But I think he’s slowly understanding my need to express myself artistically in different types of films. Which is why I did a film like Badlapur. And ultimately, he’s a creative person, so if something moves him, he’ll give it a thumbs up.”

‘Judwaa 2’ is out at the end of this month.
