David Dhawan is one of the renowned and prominent filmmakers in the Indian film industry. He is celebrating his 73rd birthday today and has left an indelible mark on Bollywood with his comedy films. His films played an important role in making Govinda a star in the Indian cinema. He failed to do so in the case of his son and actor Varun Dhawan’s acting career. Varun’s acting career has been marred by a string of flops for the past many years, that is Bawaal, Bhediya, Jug and Jugg Jeeyo.
