Varun Dhawan

Varun Dhawan featured on the promotional calendar for 'October'

Shoojit Sircar's much-awaited film 'October', starring Varun Dhawan and debutante Banita Sandhu is hitting all the right notes to build the excitement around the film. Close on the heels of telling us that the film's promotional campaign was shot entirely at an outdoor location in complete natural light, a first for Varun Dhawan and perhaps for any recent Bollywood film, the makers have upped the excitement with an innovative calendar video that reminds us of the film's release date.

The short video is set to a breezy background score, with heart-warming film stills appearing as the calendar turns months - January, February, March; one suddenly find 'October' written in place of April, as we hear Varun Dhawan's voice announcing - "This year October is coming in April".
