Confirmed: Sara Ali Khan teams up with Varun Dhawan for 'Coolie No 1' remake

Sara Ali Khan is in the news currently for her steamy equation with Kartik Aaryan. After a lot of leaked images and videos from their sets, the first look from their movie directed by Imtiaz Ali was unveiled recently. Not just the first look, the makers also announced that the film would release on Valentine's Day next year. The actress is now in news for her next film with Varun Dhawan.

After a lot of speculations around the actress being part of Coolie No 1, which is being remade by David Dhawan, a report on Mumbai now confirms all the rumours as true. Varun Dhawan replaces Govinda from the original film while Sara Ali Khan steps into Karishma Kapoor's shoes, if the report is to be belived.

The writer of this film Farhad Samji confirmed Sara's casting in the film by telling the daily, “It is a boon for any writer to work with a dedicated actor like Varun. I narrated the dialogue draft to him recently and he immediately asked me for a copy, so he could rehearse his lines even though there is still time for the film to go on the floors. I am looking forward to teaming up with Sara for the second time.”

Farhad previously worked with Sara Ali Khan in Ranveer Singh starrer Simmba. He cleared that the movie is not a remake or sequel but "adaptation in a new format". While Varun Dhawan has worked with father David Dhawan previously in Main Tera Hero and Judwaa, it will be the first time when Sara enters the Dhawan camp.
