Varun Dhawan’s upcoming film, ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’, is set to hit theatres on October 2, 2025, alongside Rishabh Shetty’s highly anticipated ‘Kantara: Chapter 1’. With both films releasing on the same day, fans wondered if Varun was losing sleep over this clash.
Fan asks if Varun fears Kantara
During a #Varunsays session on X (formerly Twitter), a fan asked, “Kantara se darr nhi lagra? (Are you scared of Kantara) #varunsays.” Varun replied, “Release date toh production wale set karte hain. Par hum buss apni film pe mehnant kar rahe hain aur logo ko Hassane ki koshish. (Release dates are set by the production team. But we’re just focusing on working hard on our film and trying to make people laugh.) I wish Oct 2nd everyone is laughing and smiling and celebrating.”
Varun opens up on ‘Baby John’ failure
Varun also spoke about the failure of his earlier film ‘Baby John’, which starred Keerthy Suresh and Wamiqa Gabbi. When asked if it was his first flop, he said, “Hain yaar nahi chali yaar sab ne bahut mehnat ki isilya #ssktk ki script totally nayi hain hopefully app sabko maaza aayegaa Oct 2nd ko (Yes, it didn’t work. We worked very hard on that film. That’s why I have picked a very fresh script of ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’. I am hoping everyone enjoys the film on October 2).”
