He said that he made sure to work hard, took acting lessons and was an assistant on 2010 film, My Name Is Khan.

Varun Dhawan said that his father David Dhawan came from a small town, had to work very hard to get work and to become successful as he knew no one in the industry. Varun further said that his father had made 50 films and had a 70-80% success rate. The filmmaker was even a gold medallist from FTII (Film and Television Institute of India). He had edited for Doordarshan and that is how he received a grand opportunity to edit Saaransh which released in 1984.

Varun Dhawan and David Dhawan have worked together on two films – Main Tera Hero and Judwaa 2 – both of which were hits. Now, they are set for their third collaboration with the remake of Coolie No 1 which stars Sara Ali Khan opposite him.
