Varun’s films with his father have not only performed well at the box office but also fared well through satellite and music rights. The source, thus, opined that the Dhawans will only end up benefitting from their association.
“Varun’s films have been getting a good recovery on satellite and music rights, with the television premiere of Judwaa 2 setting new records. He’s one of the most saleable actors today and a big draw at the box office so it’s a win-win situation for the Dhawans,” the source added.
Varun, in the meantime, is juggling a busy schedule as he is currently filming Kalank, co-starring Alia Bhatt, Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit, Sonakshi Sinha and Aditya Roy Kapur. After Kalank, Varun will begin work on Remo D’souza’s dance film with Katrina Kaif in December.
