Varun is teaming up with Sara Ali Khan for the first time in the adaptation of the timeless comedy. The film is expected to go on floors in August, this year, and will hit the screens on May 1, next year. The original film, which starred Govinda and Karisma Kapoor in the lead, was directed by Varun's father and filmmaker David Dhawan. David will direct the upcoming film and it will be produced by Vashu Bhagnani, who also bankrolled the 1995 classic comedy. This will be the third collaboration between David and Varun after the 2017 hit 'Judwaa 2' and 'Main Tera Hero'. Varun was last seen in 'Kalank', while Sara last starred in 'Simmba'.
