David Dhawan gets candid about how things were between Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra during the shooting of Student of the Year.
Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, and Sidharth Malhotra made their Bollywood debut in 2012 with Karan Johar's Student of the Year. Since then, Varun and Alia, as well as Sidharth and Alia, have shared screenspace together. However, Varun and Sidharth never worked together. In the movie, their characters are quite competitive with each other. Well, it appears that, in real life, the duo took time to gel with each other.

Varun Dhawan's father, David Dhawan, revealed that when the actor returned to India after finishing his studies, he showed interest in movies. The Badlapur star told Karan Johar that he wants to assist him in movies. It was cameraman Ravi Chandran who told Karan to notice Varun and helped him realise his potential. Karan then told David that he wanted to cast Varun in his movie.
About the same, David Dhawan opened up on Arbaaz Khan's show, The Invincibles 2. David recalled how Karan Johar once came home and introduced Sidharth to him. There was a photo session with Sidharth and Varun Dhawan, and they both looked young and vibrant. As the film production commenced, David observed that his son had previously shown signs of emotional distress. Acknowledging the challenges of two-hero films, David encouraged Varun by making him feel confident and advising him to take bold steps towards success. He fondly remembered the film's release and how Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan sent a message praising Sidharth as a "long-race horse." Subsequently, many people suggested that Varun also needed a break from him.
Last year, Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra appeared together on Karan Johar's Koffee With Karan Season 8. After a long time, the duo was seen together on screen. We wonder what both actors have to say about David's revelations.
Meanwhile, after SOTY, Varun Dhawan has worked in several movies produced by Karan Johar. The list includes Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, Badrinath Ki Dulhania, Kalank, and Jugjugg Jeeyo. The actor will be next seen in Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, which also stars Janhvi Kapoor. On the other hand, Sidharth Malhotra and Dharma's other collaborations include Hasee Toh Phasee, Brothers, Kapoor & Songs, Baar Baar Dekho, Shershaah, and Yodha.
