Coolie No. 1 Filmmaker David Dhawan On Shooting Son Varun Dhawan Kissing Sara Ali Khan: Kaae Ki Sharam Aarai Hai?

The recently released Coolie No. 1 is Varun Dhawan’s third film with his father David Dhawan and they are still often asked about their working relationship on set. The filmmaker was recently asked how he went about shooting a kissing scene between his son Varun and Sara Ali Khan in their film Coolie No. 1 and David had a very straight forward answer.

Talking shooting his son kissing on camera David told Bollywood Hungama, “There was nothing difficult about it because we are very professional people. When I am shooting with him, I don’t look at him or ask him whether we should do this or not. I tell him that this is to be done. The script demands a kissing scene and so we have to do it.”

Elaborating on the fact he added, “Practically, there is nothing wrong. Kissing scene is the lightest scene in the Indian films these days. It’s very fair when you are doing it professionally, you don’t look left, right, centre. ‘Arre yaar mera beta karra hai, sharam aarai hai. Kaae ki sharam aarai hai? (Oh no, my son is doing it, I feel so embarrassed. What are you embarrassed about?) There is no such thing. It’s all practical today. Now how the hero and the heroine do it is up to them.”

David Dhawan previously made Judwaa 2 and Main Tera Hero with Varun. The father son duo has since become an ace pair in delivering comic family entertainers together.
