October: Shoojit Sircar is all praises for his actors Varun and Banita

Shoojit Sircar’s ‘October’ stars Varun Dhawan and Banita Sandhu in the lead roles. The shooting of the movie was wrapped up recently, and the director is quite happy with his lead actors.

Talking about the shooting of the film being wrapped up, Sircar said, “We are very relieved that we have finished the shoot before time. Since our last schedule was in Manali – the weather would have gotten really cold if there were any delays, but thanks to our fabulous cast & crew we managed to conclude well in time.”

He was all praises for his actors Varun and Barun. The director stated, “I think Varun is very bright. He is trying to open up to different genres. Actors should keep exploring different genres, stories and directors. At the end of the day, you have to challenge yourself and Varun does just that. ”

“When it comes to the genre of romance, it is always beautiful to see a fresh pairing. Something about seeing their chemistry blossom through the reels of the film, makes you feel a part of their journey from the very beginning. For ‘October’, that was one of the main reasons why I chose Banita for the lead role opposite Varun. She had acted in one of my earlier commercials; the ad not just turned out to be really good but we also found the character that we were looking for in her. I’m very happy with her performance as an actor,” he added.

‘October’ is produced by Ronnie Lahiri under his banner Rising Sun Films. The producer said, “It is really nice that we have finished before schedule. It’s been a great team effort & I thank everyone. We have always preferred working backwards- we set a release date and ensure that we wrap the film well in time. We do so not only because it is economically viable, but also because it is our conscious effort to not overload ourselves. We now head to Mumbai to dive straight into the post-production work and gear up to our 13th April, 2018 release!”

After reading the quotes of Sircar, we now simply can’t wait to watch Varun and Banita’s pairing on the big screen. (Also Read: October: And it’s a wrap for the Varun Dhawan-starrer!)
