David Dhawan to direct son Varun in 'Kandireega' remake

Ekta Kapoor is bringing father-son duo David Dhawan and Varun together for a new project - the Hindi remake of Telugu hit "Kandireega".

"I am doing a film with Balaji Motion Pictures, for which work has already begun," Varun told in an interview, without revealing any more about the project.

A teaser of the new movie was floated online Monday. It featured an actor with back to the camera, and holding a poster reading: "Mafia Don Kidnaps Girl!".
"The film is a remake of Telugu film 'Kandireega'," Girish Johar, head of acquisition and distribution, Balaji Motion Pictures, told in an interview.


"We are remaking it with Varun under his father's shadow," added Johar.

Varun made his Bollywood debut in Karan Johar's "Student Of The Year", released in 2012. He earned rave reviews for his fluid expressions and flexible dancing ability.
