This is how Varun Dhawan will look in October

Shoojit Sircar's new film gets a release date.

Hit-maker Varun Dhawan will start the new year with Shoojit Sircar's October, a Rising Sun Films' production.

A love story written by Juhi Chaturvedi, it will mark Banita Sandhu's debut in Bollywood.

Varun announced the release date and shared the first look on Twitter, writing, 'As October comes to an end it arrives earlier next year. #October releases on 13 th April now.@ShoojitSircar @ronnielahiri @BanitaSandhu.'

'It is a genre that I have always wanted to delve in. While love and romance have been entwined with Indian cinema, there is abundance in that emotion that everyone can have their own interpretations of. Juhi and I have always tried to create stories from the reflections of real life moments that we see around us. October is another effort to explore those moments out of simple situations of life,' shared Shoojit in a statement.

October will release on April 13.
