Scotland schedule wrapped for Varun Dhawan's rom-com ‘Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai'
The film, helmed by David Dhawan, draws inspiration from the song 'Ishq Sona Hai' from the 1999 hit Biwi No.1, which starred Salman Khan and Karisma Kapoor. Reuniting with his father for this film, Varun is set to headline what's touted to be a nostalgic nod to the charm and madness of classic 90s rom-coms.
The cast includes a powerhouse ensemble—Mrunal Thakur, Mouni Roy, Chunkey Panday, Pooja Hegde, Maniesh Paul, Jimmy Shergill, Rakesh Bedi, Ali Asgar, Kubbra Sait, Rohit Saraf, Rajeev Khandelwal, Nitish Nirmal, and Sreeleela—suggesting a laughter riot in the making.
While the plot details remain under wraps, buzz indicates the film will blend humor, love, and old-school Bollywood vibes. Produced by Ramesh Taurani under the TIPS banner, the film's release date is yet to be announced.
Adding a layer of fun to Varun's post, Janhvi Kapoor—his co-star from the upcoming Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari—commented, 'Sunny Sanskari is needed back in the bay asap pls.' Arjun Kapoor chimed in with a quirky, 'Ramesh ji!!! The hypebeast…'
Apart from this, Varun is also gearing up to play Major Hoshiar Singh Dahiya in Border 2, alongside Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty, under Anurag Singh's direction.
Varun's romantic innings and patriotic portrayals seem to be keeping his calendar both packed and promising.

Jr NTR speaks legacy, and why he pushes his sons to write their own future script
Jr NTR featured on his first-ever magazine cover. The popular pan-India star talked about the legacy of his father, Nandamuri Harikrishna, and his grandfather, NT Rama Rao, in an interview with Esquire. The 42-year-old cast a shadow on the future of the family's cinematic legacy, by saying he is not sure if his sons want to become said, "I don't know what's going to happen with the legacy of films in the family. Or who's going to hold the baton after me. I haven't planned for all that."advertisementHe went on, "I do not want to be one of those fathers who says: 'Tumko bhi actor banna hai (You need to become an actor too)'. I don't believe in that; I want to be a bridge rather than a barrier, someone who gives them exposure to the world and other cultures. I want to give them the opportunity to go out and experience it for themselves." While he lives and breathes cinema, it's important for Jr NTR, now that he is in his late 40s, to spend as much time as possible with his family. The new villain in YRF's spy universe highlighted that he never misses any opportunity to be with his sons, or at least consciously reserves Sundays to spend time with said, "Earlier, I used to shoot seven days a week, 30 days a month. But now I insist on taking Sunday off and spending time with Abhay and Bhargava, because that is the only day I have with them."The actor, who's playing a negative role alongside Hrithik Roshan in Ayan Mukerji's 'War 2', added, "As they get older and move to higher grades in school, that whole mahaul (environment) of bonding thoda kam ho jaata hai (it gets smaller every time). That's why I make it a point to take time off on major festivals because I want to teach them the culture behind them."While NTR is aware of the magnificent legacy that he has to celebrate every day of his life, he is also conscious of the legacy that he wants to leave behind. For the popular Telugu superstar, the idea is to be remembered for his work, but more for the kind of person he is."I feel there are two images that we portray: the reel and the real. I prefer the real. The more real you are, the more you connect with the masses. I want to be remembered for telling stories that resonate. But most of all, I want to be remembered as an honest man with emotions," he explained.'War 2' is Jr NTR's big Bollywood debut. The film is a prominent piece from YRF's spy universe, which also features Salman Khan's 'Tiger' series and Shah Rukh Khan's 'Pathaan'. The film also stars Kiara Advani and Ashutosh Rana, among others. It is hitting the screens as the big Independence Day release this year on August 14.- EndsTrending Reel
