Why Is Varun Dhawan Being Turned Down By The Leading Ladies Of Bollywood?
Varun Dhawan had announced his next film, October, amid much fanfare on his Instagram page last month.

The film directed by Shoojit Sircar is a take on modern love but here is the problem- no established actress wants to be paired with Varun Dhawan in the film.

We were surprised when we got this piece of news, because Varun has an impeccable box-office record and has also got good reviews from hard-to-please film critics.

Deepika Padukone, the star of Sircar’s Piku was the first one approached and she turned down the role and then a few more A-list actresses too said ‘No’ to October.

Are you wondering why? Turns out, the film revolves around Varun’s character and the actress will only have a small role in the film.

So, Shoojit decided to hold auditions to find a newcomer who will now romance Varun Dhawan in her debut. SpotboyE.com can tell you that director has already signed a newbie and the actress’ identity is being kept under wraps for now.

Varun, is currently busy promoting his next Judwaa 2, where he romances both Jacqueline Fernandez and Taapsee Pannu.

And once he starts shooting for October, Varun will pull a disappearing act. The actor had revealed in an interview that he will switch off all his social media accounts.

“It will be a kind of shutdown mode for me. It’s obviously his take on a love story but also a take on today’s youth in a way. One thing that Shoojit sir has asked me to and that I will do in October is that I will be going off social media completely. It’s not a big deal. But when we talk of the youth, social media is a big component,” Varun had revealed.
