The hilarious trailer of Shoojit Sircar’s Gulabo Sitabo with Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana
Welcome to the World of Gulabo Sitabo where two slimy scheming foxes are caught in a game of one upmanship, each one attracting other members to their clan and each one with an agenda of his own.
Meet Mirza (Amitabh Bachchan) – a 78yrs old landlord, who would move heaven and earth for his most prized possession – an old depleted mansion in the heart of Lucknow
But this garden of roses comes with its own cluster of ‘pricky thorns’ – tenants. Amongst them most prominently, Baankey (Ayushmann Khuranna) a shrewd, sly and squatted tenant, who matches Mirza bit for bit in their ceaseless bantering.
Gulabo Sitabo is a quirky slice-of-life dramedy where Mirza and Baankey, much like Tom and Jerry are unique and unmatched, friend and foe, naughty and smart, little and large – all things required to produce chaos.
A Rising Sun Films production, Gulabo Sitabo is directed by Shoojit Sircar, written...

Varun Dhawan has always left a mark with his acting skills in each film he has been in so far. That seems to be even more true for October, which releases today. The emotional drama that also stars Banita Sandhu is unique story about love that goes beyond the normal love stories that takes audiences on a beautiful journey of love, life and relationships.
Here is some cool behind the scenes scoop! It is a well known fact that Varun always makes sure that he is well prepared and rehearsed before the shoot, but during the filming of October the director wanted him to approach it a little bit differently.
Shoojit Sircar is known for keeping his films authentic and real. Even with October, the director asked Varun Dhawan to keep his entire presence as natural as possible. What Varun did not know was that to get the best performances...

Banita Sandhu is set to make her Bollywood debut in the emotionally charged film, October, directed by Shoojit Sircar and starring Varun Dhawan that will have your hearts racing and tears flowing.
Interestingly, the 20-year-old actress earlier worked with director on a commercial for Doublemint’s “Ek Ajnabee Haseena Se” song. The entire song in the ad depicts love but only with expressions and this, plus her work ethic, led Shoojit Sircar to cast Banita in the role in October.
Shoojit Sircar shares, “I wanted a girl who looked Shiuli, who looked a little South Indian and also whose eye would speak a lot.”
While we have heard a lot about Varun Dhawan’s character in the film, there is little that has been revealed about Banita’s role, which has only made us more curious to watch her in the film.

While we are looking forward to watch the unique love story of October, which Shoojit Sircar has beautifully created, we have finally figured out a secret talent the director holds, which was revealed on the sets!
Shoojit Sircar is known to be a director whose key trademark is to extract the best out of his actors, morphing into real and relatable characters for the audiences to own. Each actor who has worked with him surrenders themselves completely to his vision, and rightly so!

Varun Dhawan, who is making a special place in our hearts with his role of Dan from October, was signed from a very casual meeting with director Shoojit Sircar. Read on to find out when Shoojit Sircar made Varun his Dan.
It seems, when Varun Dhawan went to meet Shoojit Sircar at his office, the director immediately decided to cast the young actor as Dan. Varun was in his causal attire, ruffled hair and even dropped the glass of his tea while sitting across Shoojit. Shoojit then clicked an image of Varun at that moment and sent it to his producers and Juhi stating that they have found Dan.
Shoojit Sircar shares, “One day, in November, I was about to leave for Kolkata and he texted asking if he could come. I asked if he could come right away. He said he had just woken up and was dressed shabbily.

With the growing anticipation for his upcoming release October, here we share a fresh look of Varun Dhawan from the film. This time around the actor will be seen playing a sweet yet mischievous boy who is trying to get into the hospitality industry.
He will be seen playing the role of a hotel management student who is working in a five-star hotel as part of the trainee program. Varun’s profession playes very integral part to his character and environment in the film, which shapes up the events that follow.
The actor was required to work for all the departments in the film, a housekeeping person, front desk manager, laundry man, waiter, etc.
The actor shot for his character in a real hotel in Delhi where he spent time observing the way all the hotel employees worked. He picked up their ways and mannerism which was perfectly incorporated in the film.

Varun Dhawan has been receiving much appreciation and love for his character Dan in Shoojit Sircar’s October. In an interview with a leading publication, Shoojit Sircar spilt the beans on how Varun was casted for the movie, debutant Banita Sandhu and thought behind the story.
Shoojit mentioned how Varun was trying to approach him since a year on text messages before their first meeting that was finally set up back in November 2016. He said, “That day I was rushing to wrap up things before flying off to Kolkata when Varun called asking if we could meet. Since he lived in Juhu, I wondered if he could come over immediately. He’d just woken up and told me he was not dressed. I told him not to bother, we’re pretty casual around here.”
When Varun met Shoojit, the actor was being his clumsy self in his ripped denims, a crumpled shirt and disheveled hair.

In Shakti Samanta’s 1971 romantic classic Amar Prem, the lead pair Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore never get a chance to get intimate in the way men and women get in real and reel life….no songs, no exchange of affection, no sex….And yet Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore in Shakti Samanta’s Amar Prem were the epitome of romanticism.
I see the same same sublimity in Varun Dhawan’s eyes in October, director Shoojit Sircar and writer Juhi Chuturvedi’s most romantic association to date. The trailer is suffused in shades of green and the hues of morningtime serenity, conveying a closeness to Nature that is as bracing a walk by the riverside on a soft autumn morning.
Varun Dhawan plays a housekeeper at a post hotel in love with the idea of love. The girl whom he follows into the ICU of a hospital barely acknowledges him at their workplace.

While we are all gearing up for the trailer of the much-awaited film October, we wonder how the debutant actress Banita Sandhu, who will share screen space with Varun Dhawan was found to play the role.
Little does anyone know that Shoojit Sircar and Banita have already worked together in a commercial for Doublemint’s “Ek Ajnabee Haseena Se” song. The ad was directed by Shoojit Sircar and had Banita play the female lead. The entire song depicts love but only with expressions.
When Shoojit Sircar met her for the shoot of the ad, he was instantly convinced that Banita was the perfect choice for the film.
Shoojit Sircar shared, “Everyone was in awe of Banita from the chewing gum commercial which I had directed. While I was shooting the ad film, Juhi Chaturvedi and I were also working on the script of October. One day, I clicked a picture...

October is a story of a very different shade of love and the actors of the film have had to go deep into their characters. Director Shoojit Sircar had the actors including the lead Varun Dhawan, go through certain trials and experiences to be able to perform their roles with honesty.
For a few scenes in the film, Shoojit wanted Varun to look sombre. Shoojit Sircar is known to keep his movies authentic, wanted Varun to look as natural as possible and not use makeup.
He instructed Varun to not sleep for a few days or have minimum sleep of an hour or two every day for a week. Varun without hesitation followed the directors vision and what translated on camera was spectacular.
Shoojit Sircar shares, “Yes I usually do this with many of my actors, used this during Pink as well. A couple of scenes with Varun required extensive emotional burstouts,...
