Can Varun-Alia replace SRK-Kajol?

By Dinesh Kamath

Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt are all set to appear together the fourth time in the period drama, 'Kalank'. The two are one of the most popular on-screen pairs. The most loved jodi has so far given three hits like Student Of The Year (2012), Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014) and Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017) together.

The two are popular among the masses. They are being compared with iconic Bollywood on-screen jodi Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. They have done seven films together and become iconic for all. Varun, in fact, has grown up watching their films. He and Alia are tremendously loved by their fans. It is because people like to watch them, directors cast them together time and again.

Varun-Alia's jodi is an entertaining one in Bollywood. The 'Kalank' actors, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt are playing Zafar and Roop respectively in the film.

Directed by Abhishek Varman, Kalank also stars Madhuri Dixit-Nene, Sanjay Dutt, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditya Roy Kapur in lead roles. Produced by Karan Johar and Sajid Nadiadwala, the film is set to release on April 19, 2019.

Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt's on-screen chemistry is something to look out for. The duo sets the silver screen on fire with their oh-so-comfortable camaraderie. The duo started their filmy career with Student of the Year and have been going strong ever since.

Alia and Varun, being one of the most successful pairs of Bollywood, the two are still getting a lot of offers. We will have to wait and see whether Alia and Varun will replace SRK-Kajol in the next five years. The two will undoubtedly have to work very hard to reach that level.
