"Varun is a doing a film with us. The script has been finalised. It is an exciting, fun film. We are producing it," Karan said.
With this yet-to-be-titled film, Karan is set to launch two more newcomers.

Karan had launched Varun, son of filmmaker David Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, daughter of Mahesh Bhatt and model Siddharth Malhotra, in his directorial venture 'Student of the Year'.
Karan's upcoming home production 'Hasee Toh Phasee' will see model-actor Siddharth romancing Parineeti Chopra and is scheduled to release next year.
Whereas, Alia will be seen opposite Arjun Kapoor in '2 States', which is jointly produced by Karan and Sajid Nadiadwala.
Siddharth, Varun and Alia are still part of Karan's Dharma Productions. And Karan says he keeps advising and nurturing them.
"They are part of Dharma family and they are bound to us. We represent them as well," Karan said.
