Actor Varun Dhawan, who has had both his releases till date proving to be hits, says that his upcoming film 'Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania' is a modern day version of the 1995 cult film 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' (DDLJ).

Varun explains that his film showcases the contemporary Indian family. "It is a modern-day tribute to ‘DDLJ’... it is a modern 2014 version of ‘DDLJ.’.. so there's no melodrama... today's youth reacts very differently to authority. So, it's not a copy... it's a humble, small tribute," Varun said.

"This is a 2014 family film. India has progressed a lot...almost a revolution happened... the youth brought about a big change...there's a lot of fire...lots of angst... so we are bringing out that part. So we are trying to show what a modern-day family film is..." he continued.

The film is produced by Karan Johar and directed by Shashank Khaitan and is set to hit theatres on July 11.
