Confirmed! It is Banita Sandhu opposite Varun Dhawan in ‘October’

A couple of days ago, Varun Dhawan had posted a picture with girl who will be seen opposite him in Shoojit Sircar’s ‘October’. However, the picture was not a clear one and the girls face could not be seen properly.

Varun had tweeted, “She is the #October girl I was looking for. @ShoojitSircar @ronnielahiri.” [sic]

Well, before the makers or Varun confirmed, social media was abuzz that the girl who will be starring opposite the actor is model Banita Sandhu. However, recently Varun confirmed that it is indeed her.

The actor tweeted a picture of himself and Banita and wrote, “#October @ShoojitSircar @ronnielahiri #juhichatruvedi #BanitaSandhu #varundhawan.” [sic]

After having a look at the picture, we can say that Varun and Banita look quite good together. (Also Read: Looks like we’ve found out who the mystery girl with Varun Dhawan is!)

Talking about the pairing, Shoojit said, “When it comes to the genre of romance, it is always beautiful to see a fresh pairing. Something about seeing their chemistry blossom through the reels of the film, makes you feel a part of their journey from the very beginning. ‘For October’, that was one of the main reasons why I chose Banita for the lead role opposite Varun.”

‘October’ is said to be a rom-com and there were reports that Deepika Padukone was the first choice for the film. However, apparently the lead actress doesn’t have much to do in the film, but still Deepika was keen on doing the movie. We wonder if these reports were true or not.

Directed by Shoojit Sircar, ‘October’ is slated to release on June 1, 2018. This will be for the first time when Shoojit will be collaborating with Varun, and we are sure this one will be an interesting flick. Shoojit’s films always have a slice-of-life touch and we hope this one won’t be an exception.
