Upala KBR hitlist@ mid- day. com During the promotional leg of Street Dancer 3D, reports suggested that director Remo Du2019Souza and his favourite actor Varun Dhawan will reunite for another dance film.

But this is the one I want to make first; I may start shooting for it by April- May,u201d says the director, before hinting, u201c I am in talks with a top actor for the same.u201d Does that mean he wonu2019t knock on the door of his frequent collaborator Dhawan? u201c I think he is busy with other projects. Varun [ has his plate full with] three films, so my next wonu2019t star him, but you never know after that. The ABCD series has been lucky for all of us.u201d Not too long ago, it was speculated that Du2019Souza would helm Dance Daddy with Salman Khan. Soon after, there was buzz that he had pitched the idea to Dhawan.
