Varun Dhawan

Director Shoojit Sircar says he had preconceived notions about Varun Dhawan, who is chiefly known for potboilers such as "Badrinath Ki Dulhania" and "Judwaa 2", but decided to cast him after he discovered an innocent side to him when he met the actor. The filmmaker, who is awaiting the release of his first venture, "October" with Varun, says the actor was accidentally cast in the film.
