Varun Dhawan to attend the screening of 'October' at IFFI

The International Film Festival of India (IFFI) kickstarts in Goa on November 20. Several Indian and international movies will be screened at the festival this year, too. Varun Dhawan-starrer October will be showcased as part of the Panorama Section, for which, he will fly down to the coastal state on November 23.

The Judwaa 2 star is visibly excited. He said, “It was my dad who informed me that October was chosen to be part of the Panorama Section at IFFI. To be honest, since the time it released, I have had many people come up to me and tell me how it has touched them or how they couldn’t believe that a film like this was made in India. It’s great that it is being showcased with the best movies this year.”

Before it hit the screens in April this year, Varun was nervous about how October would be received. But the actor garnered a lot of praise for his performance in the Shoojit Sircar directorial. He says, “I am happy that today people can watch the film online. A lot of aspiring actors have told me that their teachers show them scenes from this movie. All this is really touching but I really didn’t do much acting (in October). Shoojitda just made me live the film.”
