Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan will be seen together on the big screen for the first time in David Dhawan’s Coolie No. 1. The shooting of the film kickstarted a few days ago, and the makers had also unveiled a couple of posters of the movie.
Today, David Dhawan celebrates his 64th birthday and Varun took to Twitter to wish his father in his Coolie No. 1 avatar. The actor posted a couple of pictures from the sets and wrote, “Happy birthday ? papa ? मेरा नम्बर 1 डिरेक्टर । काम चालू हैं bhai लोग. Coolie number 1.”
Interestingly, Sara Ali Khan’s father, actor Saif Ali Khan’s birthday is also today. The actress posted on Instagram, “Happiest birthday Abba ? ? ? I love you so much ❤️??????.”
Coolie No. 1 is a remake of 1995 release film with the same name which starred Govinda and Karisma Kapoor in the lead roles. The film was a super hit and it is still remembered for its chartbuster songs.
The movie will mark David Dhawan’s third collaboration with his son Varun Dhawan. The two have earlier worked together in films like Main Tera Hero and Judwaa 2. The latter was a remake of David Dhawan’s Judwaa which starred Salman Khan, Karisma Kapoor, and Rambha in the lead roles. Judwaa 2 was a blockbuster at the box office, but the film had mostly received negative reviews. Let’s hope that the Coolie No. 1 remake is a well-made film.
Coolie No. 1 is slated to release on 1st May 2020.

Man pleads not guilty to murder of BBC presenter's family
A 26-year-old man has pleaded not guilty to charges of murdering the wife and two daughters of BBC sports commentator John Hunt in a crossbow and knife attack.
Kyle Clifford, who also faces charges of rape, appeared via video link at Cambridge Crown Court on Thursday.
Clifford, arrested in July after a manhunt, is charged with three counts of murder, one count each of rape and false imprisonment, and two counts of possessing offensive weapons – a 10-inch knife and a crossbow.
During the hearing, Clifford denied all the charges except for the rape charge, which was added to the indictment at the session.
He is expected to enter a plea for that charge at a later date.
The victims were Carol Hunt, 61, wife of horseracing commentator John Hunt, and their daughters Louise, 25, and Hannah, 28.
An earlier hearing revealed that Louise had been found tied up and that both she and her sister had been shot with a crossbow, while their mother had been stabbed with a knife.
The fatal attack occurred at the family’s home in Bushey, a commuter town near Watford, northwest of London.
