Varun Dhawan Teams Up With Father David Dhawan for His Comeback Film – ‘Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai’

3 Min Read

Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai: Actor Varun Dhawan, who made a strong debut in 2012 with Student of the Year, has been going through a rough patch in his career. His recent films haven’t done well at the box office, and audiences haven’t connected with his latest performances.

In 2024, he appeared in the action film Baby John, but the movie failed to impress. He also tried his hand at OTT with the web series Citadel: Honey Bunny on Prime Video. Unfortunately, that too didn’t bring much success.
