Varun Dhawan is crediting his co-stars for his performance. The actor has opened up about Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, attributing his shine to Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde in the David Dhawan directorial.
"I feel if my character shines, it will be because of Mrunal and Pooja's support," Varun said. The rom-com marked his first on-screen pairing with both leading ladies, and the chemistry was built on solid team spirit.
Varun also acknowledged his father David Dhawan, noting that the filmmaker's health fluctuated during production. "My father's health was up and down through it all. Everyone from the cast, from the girls to Maniesh & Jimmy, gave so much love to him and made this film happen together," he said.
The ensemble cast includes Maniesh Paul, Jimmy Sheirgill, and Mouni Roy. The crew rallied around the veteran director during production. According to reports, this camaraderie is one of the film's strengths.
Released on June 5, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai marks another Varun-David collaboration in the rom-com space. The film reunites the actor and director in a genre that has become central to Varun's career.
