Filmmaker David Dhawan seems to be reliving the past by creating remakes of his previous successful movies. His son and actor Varun Dhawan stepped into the shoes of 'Bhai' Salman Khan, when he starred in the remake of the 1997 hit 'Judwaa', only to replicate the success at the box office. And now, speculation is that Daddy Dhawan is keen on duplicating his 1999 hit 'Biwi No. 1', and wants to cast Varun in the lead.
When asked about the rumours in an interview, Dhawan rubbished them, saying, “Good that people are speculating about what we will do next. We haven't thought about remaking 'Biwi No. 1' as of yet. Right now, we're in the holiday mood. Let the new year begin and then we'll think of what to do next.” The director added, “I know it is a convenient formula to do remakes and sequels. But we may surprise everyone by doing an entirely original film this time.”
Dhawan had returned to the director's chair after a gap of three years for 'Judwaa 2'. “I have directed 45 films in the last 41 years. And before we forget, I was a film editor before a director. I have left nothing to prove. Some critics say I haven't changed my formula for 40 years. But the question is why should I, when it's working fine. I am proud of what I've achieved in the industry, and in life. But I am even prouder of what my sons Rohit and Varun have achieved in just 4-5 years.”
