Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan has officially addressed rumours linking him to a sequel of the 2019 romantic comedy Luka Chuppi. Speaking to fans on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, Dhawan clarified that no such project is in the works and he has not signed any films beyond his confirmed releases.
What Happened?
During an interactive session with fans, Varun was asked about his upcoming projects following his recent announcement Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. The actor responded:
“Not signed any film. There is no sequel of any other film I’m doing. Will decide.”
This statement directly refutes circulating media reports that suggested Varun would star alongside Sharvari in Luka Chuppi 2, a follow-up to the 2019 film that originally featured Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon.
Official Confirmation and Sources
Varun’s clarification is the first official confirmation regarding his involvement—or lack thereof—in the sequel. Previously, several media outlets had reported that Luka Chuppi 2 was expected to enter pre-production in early 2026. These reports indicated scheduling delays for director Laxman Utekar, with Varun and Sharvari named as potential leads.
With his statement, the actor has dismissed all speculation, emphasizing that he has not committed to any sequels or franchise projects at this time.
Industry Context
Sequels of hit Bollywood films often generate significant buzz before any official announcements. In this case, the original Luka Chuppi performed well at the box office, naturally leading to rumours of a follow-up. Varun’s direct denial highlights the importance of verified information in an era of rapid social media speculation.
Meanwhile, Varun continues to work on confirmed projects, including the high-profile war drama Border 2, set for a theatrical release on January 23, 2026. The film also stars Diljit Dosanjh, Sunny Deol, Ahan Shetty, Sonam Bajwa, and Mona Singh.
Public and Fan Reaction
Fans quickly responded to Varun’s clarification online. Many appreciated his straightforward communication, while others speculated about future collaborations with Sharvari in entirely new projects. Social media discussions emphasized excitement for Border 2, reaffirming fan anticipation for his next confirmed release.
What’s Next?
As of now, Varun Dhawan’s focus is firmly on his confirmed projects. While he has not ruled out future films or sequels, any such announcements will come directly from the actor or verified sources. In the meantime, audiences are expected to see him in Border 2 in early 2026.
