The October director Shoojit Sircar is all praise for Varun Dhawan, but admits he was not well-versed with the actor's work


Varun Dhawan
Director Shoojit Sircar says he had preconceived notions about Varun Dhawan, who is chiefly known for potboilers such as "Badrinath Ki Dulhania" and "Judwaa 2", but decided to cast him after he discovered an innocent side to him when he met the actor. The filmmaker, who is awaiting the release of his first venture, "October" with Varun, says the actor was accidentally cast in the film.
