Motion poster of renowned filmmaker David Dhawan’s next directorial, Coolie No. 1, has been unveiled. As the title suggests itself, the movie is an official remake of his 1995 cult comic-caper by the same name. While the original film starred Govinda and Karisma Kapoor in lead roles, the remake features Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan as the lead pair.
Varun Dhawan, who reteams with his filmmaker father, David Dhawan, for the third time after hits like Main Tera Hero (2014) and Judwaa 2 (2017), on Sunday unveiled the motion poster of Coolie No. 1 on his Twitter handle. "Mujhe pata hai ki aapko pata hai. Aapko pata hai ki mujhe pata hai. Lekin kya aapko voh pata hai jo mujhe pata hai? #1May2020 #CoolieNo.1," tweeted the Bollywood star.
The team commenced the first shooting schedule of the film in Bangkok earlier this week. This is the first time when Varun Dhawan has joined hands with newcomer Sara Ali Khan for a film. Besides Varun and Sara, the audience will also see seasoned actors Paresh Rawal and Johny Lever essaying important characters in the comic-caper. The movie is set to roll into theatres on 1st May, 2020.
Varun, who was last seen in Dharma Productions’ period drama Kalank (2019), recently wrapped up his much-awaited dance film, Street Dancer 3D, with Shraddha Kapoor. The movie reunites Varun and Shraddha with filmmaker Remo D'souza after ABCD 2 (2015), which was a big box-office success.
As for Sara Ali Khan, she has just wrapped up her third Bollywood outing, Aaj Kal. She pairs up opposite rising Bollywood star Kartik Aaryan in the film which has been directed by ace storyteller Imtiaz Ali. Aaj Kal is slated to hit the marquee on 14th February, 2020.
That Pali Hill plot where the old Kapoor house stood is finally ready.
They put out a note themselves, talking about new beginnings and asking for some space.
It is huge: six floors, hanging gardens, the whole works.
Neetu Kapoor moves in with them.
Alia just bagged another Filmfare award for Jigra.
So, the construction fences are finally down. The boxes are being packed. Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor are finally hauling boxes into that Pali Hill place, and choosing Diwali for it is certainly no accident. This is a proper family move, the whole clan under one roof. Calling it a 'new build' feels incomplete, doesn't it? I mean, they tore the old place down, sure, but the land itself? That is all Kapoor history. They have simply put a new house on a very, very old foundation.

So, what is the place actually like?
With an estimated value of £24 million, (Rs 250 crore) it is six floors stacked up on that prized Pali Hill plot. That video leak a few months back really blew up. Alia was furious, and rightly so, someone just filmed the place and posted on social media. We all saw a raw, unauthorized peek because of it. The home seems to have tiered gardens on the terrace, like a modern take on a classic Mumbai bungalow.

Why does this Pali Hill move matter so much?
That land is Kapoor history. Tearing down the original house was a gamble. Neetu ji, Ranbir, Alia, and their daughter Raha, all under one roof now. Four generations in one building. On top of that, it's during Diwali. It is about lighting lamps in a new space that is actually full of old memories. They also sent a note to the media politely asking for privacy around their new Pali Hill home.

What is happening on the work front?
As if moving house is not chaotic enough, Alia is still riding the high from her Filmfare win for Jigra. Her sixth. She put up a post calling it a project close to her heart, and you can tell she is not just using a press release line. Now the industry chatter is all about their next big one. They are teaming up again for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War, with Vicky Kaushal in the mix too.
