    Filmmaker David Dhawan has turned a year older on Friday and his son Varun Dhawan has penned a birthday wish for papa dearest on social media.

     

    "Happy birthday papa. You are my No. 1 director," Varun wrote on Instagram along with a photograph that has him posing with David in Bangkok.

     

    The father-son duo are currently shooting in Bangkok for the remake of the 1995 hit film, "Coolie No.1". David had directed the original, featuring Govinda in the starring role, to be reprised by Varun in the remake.
