Bollywood’s beloved heartthrob Varun Dhawan has once again captured the attention of his fans with his playful antics, this time involving an unexpected plunge. The “Badlapur” star recently took a dive into social media, quite literally, by sharing a rib-tickling video that saw him attempting to strike a heroic pose atop a pool bed before gravity decided to play spoil.
In the video, Varun is seen confidently standing on the floating pool bed, giving the camera his best heroic look. Just as the actor appears to have nailed the pose, he suddenly loses his balance and topples over onto the float, providing a hearty laugh to his audience. Varun jokingly captioned the clip “Entering 2024,” as if foreshadowing his approach to the upcoming year with humor and a splash of humility. The video quickly became a sensation, prompting a wave of laughter and lighthearted comments from netizens.
Among the many reactions, some users expressed their amusement succinctly with comments like “Hahahahah ouch,” and “Hilarious,” embracing the humorous fall with the actor. Varun’s charm and his penchant for connecting with the audience even through his playful setbacks is a testament to his status as a versatile entertainer.
Beyond his social media ventures, Varun has been making headlines concerning professional shifts in his filmography. The ‘Dulhania’ film series, which saw Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt team up to become an iconic on-screen duo affectionately dubbed ‘Varia,’ is reportedly undergoing a casting change for its upcoming third installment. The pair first captivated audiences in Karan Johar’s high-flying 2012 debut “Student of The Year”, and continued to win hearts in the subsequent ‘Dulhania’ movies produced by Dharma Productions.
The initial film in the series directed by Shashank Khaitan, “Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania” in 2014, was received with adoration from fans, who praised the palpable chemistry between Dhawan and Bhatt. They returned with equal fervor in “Badrinath Ki Dulhania” three years later, leaving fans eager for more. Anticipation has been mounting for ‘Dulhania 3’, confirmed to start production later this year. However, the latest reports from PeepingMoon.com suggest that audiences will see a significant change.
Alia Bhatt, due to unexplained reasons which some speculate may be related to her busy schedule, is reputedly not reprising her beloved role. Stepping into what may be Bhatt’s big shoes is Janhvi Kapoor, marking her second on-screen collaboration with Varun Dhawan after Nitesh Tiwari’s “Bawaal”, which had a direct-to-OTT release.
Shashank Khaitan is set to return to helm the third installment of the ‘Dulhania’ series. As with “Badrinath Ki Dulhania”, this new chapter will also detach from its predecessors, boasting an independent storyline. Currently, the production is still in the early stages of pre-production with plans to commence filming in the coming months.
While the official details of Alia Bhatt’s absence and Janhvi Kapoor’s entry remain untold, the buzz around this change suggests a new dynamic for the beloved franchise. Fans of Varun Dhawan, meanwhile, remain intrigued, following their favorite star’s every move, be it a poised post on a pool float or a starstruck moment on the big screen. Regardless of the slips and shifts, Varun Dhawan’s capacity to amuse and amaze his audience remains undiminished.
