Since the announcement of Shoojit Sircar’s next directorial outing, October starring Varun Dhawan was made, the guessing game for who the female lead had also begun and while many names were rumored to be a part of the venture, Sircar put the speculations to rest by declaring his new find – Banita Sandhu.
Shoojit is known to have a keen eye for spotting talent and launching them in his films and Banita is all set to enter this list. Banita is from Wales in the United Kingdom and has done some advertising assignments including the very popular Wrigley’s Doublemint (Ek Ajnabee Haseena Se) Television commercial directed by Shoojit last year.

“When it comes to the genre of romance, it is always beautiful to see a fresh pairing. Something about seeing their chemistry blossom through the reels of the film, makes you feel 700-501 a part of their journey from the very beginning. For October, that was one of the main reasons why I chose Banita for the lead role opposite Varun,” says Sircar.
Talking about October, Producer Ronnie Lahiri of Rising Sun Films adds, “At Rising Sun Films, our endeavor has always been to create stories that are simple, connect with the audience 117-201 and stay with them. October will hopefully be one more step in that direction.”
