David Dhawan reacts to Varun Dhawan’s trolling
Talking to Pinkvilla, David said, “But kya hua? Sab ulat gaya na! (But what happened? Everything fell flat, on the face!). Today, everything is work. I told him this will get over. Kuch din baad yehi log bolenge ki ye toh bohot acha hai. (After some days, these same people will say Varun is very good.) Uski last picture toh mujhe itni achi lagi thi. Uska kaam Border 2 mein… itna roya bhi hoon main uss picture mein uske kaam se. Definitely, he has improved and is on the right track. Aur woh apne kaam ki value jaanta hai. (And he knows the value of his work.) He respects the people around him. He’s very careful and tries to give his best”.

Yeh sab cheezein chalti rehti hain (All these things keep happening). It doesn’t really matter. Main iske liye kaam nahin karta hoon. Main jis cheez ke liye kaam karta hoon, woh iss Friday ko pata chalega (I don’t work for this. What I work for, you will find out this Friday),” Varun said.Dhawan continued: “Mujhe film pe bharosa hai. Ek achi film banana bohot zaroori hai. Obviously, numbers and all these things don’t concern me. But I believe ki humne ek achi film banayi hai (I believe in the film. It’s very important to make a good film. I’m not concerned with numbers. I believe we made a good film). That’s the most important thing.”
