Filmmaker David Dhawan recently spoke out in defense of his son, actor Varun Dhawan, who faced trolling ahead of the release of his film Border 2. David remarked on how the negativity surrounding Varun dissipated following the film's box office success, stating, 'But kya hua? Sab ulat gaya na!' (But what happened? Everything fell flat, on the face!). He highlighted Varun's growth as an actor, affirming that he is on the 'right track' and respects the value of his work. Varun, in response to the trolling, emphasized his focus on his craft and the importance of letting his work speak for itself. He expressed confidence in Border 2, stating, 'Mujhe film pe bharosa hai' (I believe in the film). The film, directed by Anurag Singh, features an ensemble cast including Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty, and is produced by T-Series Films and JP Films. Varun Dhawan will next appear in Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, set for release on May 22, 2026.
