Varun
Dhawan
gave
one
of
his
career
best
performances
in
the
2018
film
October.
He
starred
opposite
debutant
Banita
Sandhu
and
Gitanjali
Rao
in
this
Shoojit
Sircar
directorial.
Recently,
when
a
fan
asked
a
question
related
to
the
film,
Varun
revealed
that
he
broke
down
during
a
particular
scene.
A
fan
asked
Varun
and
Shoojit
about
the
reasoning
behind
a
particular
scene
from
October.
The
fan
wrote,
"@ShoojitSircar
When
Shiuli's
mom
asks
Dan
to
move
on
as
she
felt
selfish
post
his
mother's
visit,
Dan's
reaction
is
not
shown
but
he
complies
nonetheless.
Was
not
showing
Dan's
reaction
intentional?
What's
the
significance?
#October
@Varun_dvn."
Varun
got
candid
and
replied
about
the
scene,
"That's
an
amazing
question
.
I
had
infact
broken
down
while
filming
that
scene
@ShoojitSircar."
Talking
about
casting
Varun
for
the
role,
Shoojit
had
once
said
in
an
interview,
"It
wasn't
like
I
wanted
to
work
with
Varun
Dhawan.
I
saw
him
in
my
office
one
day
and
I
just
found
some
kind
of
honesty
and
innocence
in
him
which
I
was
looking
for
my
character.
I
went
on
with
him
purely
on
instincts.
Though
he
was
an
overnight
sensation,
a
star,
but
there
was
something
really
'teenage'
and
'young'
in
him."
October
won
much
love
from
the
critics
and
audiences.
Varun
won
the
Best
Actor
Critics
Choice
at
the
64th
Filmfare
Awards,
whereas
Gitanjali
Rao
won
the
Best
Supporting
Actress.
The
film
was
produced
by
Ronnie
Lahiri
and
Sheel
Kumar
under
the
banner
of
Rising
Sun
Films.
