Veteran filmmaker David Dhawan is back in the news with his upcoming film Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. However, it is not just about the film this time. His recent statement about retirement has grabbed attention online.
The director, known for his comedy hits, has hinted that this film could be his last. Soon after, social media users reacted strongly. While some supported him, others mocked his decision.
David Dhawan Hints At Retirement Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai
In a recent interview, David Dhawan spoke about his bond with his son Varun Dhawan. He shared how their understanding has improved over the years.
“A director always wants a good actor, that’s the first priority. Meri uski tuning ho gayi… ye bhi nahi ghar ka bacha hai karega hi… vo bhi question karega hi, hak hai uska… 13–14 film kar chuka hai (He’s not just my son; he questions, he understands, and he has already done 13–14 films)… but we get along really well aur maine kaha jab tak bana raha hu to bete ke saath ek do picture chalti rahe acha hai (I said that as long as I am making films, it’s good to do one or two with my son).”
DON'T MISS
He also hinted that he may stop directing after this project. The director said, “I don’t think I should do more. Vo to chahta hi nahi main kaam bhi karu healthwise dekhkar (Varun doesn’t want me to work, considering my health). This might be my last film… after this, I’ll just be Varun’s father. I will look after you… Look after your family. Main ghusunga nahi Varun ki picture main (I won’t be involved in his picture), but I’ll be there with him all the time.”
Netizens REACT To His Statement
Soon after his comments went viral, social media users started reacting. Some respected his honesty, but many criticised him. One user wrote, “This is a blessing in disguise for Varun Dhawan career.”
Another commented, “Thank God. He’s given many memorable films but at this point he’s ruining his son’s career even more by doing cringe comedies.”
A third user said, “No more film to do remakes?”
One more quipped, “Anyway, he’s just making trash.”
David Dhawan Health Scare
David Dhawan also shared that he had a health scare during the shoot and was hospitalised. During that time, Varun took care of him and supported him fully. He called his son a complete family man.
The father-son duo has worked together in films like Main Tera Hero, Judwaa 2 and Coolie No. 1. Their collaborations have always been in the spotlight.
Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is directed by David Dhawan and produced by Ramesh Taurani. The film stars Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde in lead roles.
The film will release in theatres on May 22. Now, fans are waiting to see if this will truly be David Dhawan’s final film.
