Varun Dhawan will be the first one to watch Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor's 'Dhadak' - Here's How

Varun Dhawan will soon make an appearance on the dance show Dance Deewane for which he shot a promo yesterday. Just before the shoot, Shashank Khaitan, who is one of the judges on the show and has directed Varun in Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania told us that the actor will bully him. “I have directed him in my films, now that I’m in front of the camera, he will bully me. He is going to take my case,” laughed Shashank, who was looking forward to it. And, the promo actually has Varun styling the director and telling him how he should talk and in general prepping him for his TV debut!

“Varun and I started out as actor-director but we have become good friends, so much so that whatever happens in our lives, we tell each other first — whether we are signing a film, when our movies are ready, etc,” says Shashank. So, has he shown 'Dhadak' to Varun? “Not yet, but I have been chasing him. Woh bhi mujhe gaali de raha hai ki why I haven’t shown the film to him yet! But when we meet for the promo, I will discuss about the screening,” says the director.

Shashank, who has learnt dance and even used to teach at one point, feels that Varun dances from the heart. “Technically he may not be the best dancer, but it touches you. So many times during the rehearsals, I would tell him, do a little better, but jaise woh camera ke saamne aata hai, pyaar se dance karta hai,” gushes Shashank. Though Dhadak doesn’t star Varun, Shashank says, “We will work again soon (Rannbhoomi). He is possessive about me and I am about him,” he smiles.
