Sircar has enjoyed phenomenal success with hit films like Piku (2015), Madras Cafe (2013) and Vicky Donor (2012). October would be a romantic one which is being written by Juhi Chaturvedi.

Varun who has mostly been comfortable with comedy and lighthearted movies in the past, will be seen portraying a serious role in October. His character in Badlapur also had the similar essence.

Initially, R Balki's social biopic Padman was scheduled to release on 13 April but the makers pulled it ahead to the Republic Day weekend. It will now clash with S Shankar's Tamil sci-fi entertainer 2.0.
