David Dhawan on directing son Varun Dhawan’s kissing scenes: There is no embarrassment; it’s all practical today

Filmmaker David Dhawan has directed his son Varun Dhawan in three movies now, the latest one being Coolie No 1. Main Tera Hero and Judwaa 2 were the earlier two. In an interview to Bollywood Hungama, he spoke about directing his kissing scenes. He said, "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. 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."

In an earlier interview with Hindustan Times, David and Varun had talked about their professional relationship. David had said, "I treat Varun like I treat any other actor, rather a little worse. I've never treated him like my son or like a hero. If he does a bad shot, I reprimand him in front of everyone. But he is so good with improvisations. In the first film, he was a little nervous but he was still doing it well, but in Judwaa 2, he was he was full on a complete commercial hero."

On the other hand, Varun had added, "And that's the kind of relationship I want to share with every director. I'm very selfish when it comes to my films. My endeavour is to try to push myself in order to entertain the audience. Working with dad is an extremely satisfying experience for me creatively. Also, he pushes me and makes me think."
