Meanwhile, talking about the film and its comparison to the original film, Varun had earlier said, “It is not a remake. The film is an adaptation, while the screenplay remains the same. We are changing a lot of things, and it will be different from the original. I have not seen such a wholesome entertainer in the last 15 years; so, I am doing it because I loved the screenplay. And being directed by dad is always great. I am aware that there will be comparisons, that is why I have taken it up.”
Not to miss, Varun and Sara are teaming up for the first time in the film.
